i. Describe the choices available in each environment in relation to age appropriateness.
Indoors:
• Puzzles in toddlers room have large pieces with handles and fit into their particular spot. Puzzles in Preschool room have smaller pieces without handles, and do not all have a base to fit into. Pictures to complete are larger and more complex.
• The art area in toddlers room has paste and paints available for self-selection with chunky paintbrushes for easy grasping. The art area in Preschool room has a variety of skinny and larger brushes to choose from with PVA glue, paints and dyes available for self-selection.
• 0-18months: has cradles, mirrors, and playpen toys, water play, kitchen play to choose from playing with.

k. Describe how children with different abilities can use an area.
Indoors:
• Activities are provided at several levels of complexity, so children can use more challenging materials while still having the comfort of those they know they have already mastered. Children can play at the level they are comfortable approaching.
• Cooperative play is encouraged by staff interaction in many different activities when children with different abilities are participating. If a child is struggling with a puzzle activity, another child who has mastered it can be encouraged to share their knowledge with the other.
• The art area can be used by children with different abilities as they are able to create individually with their own choices of material. A child who is able to grasp a pencil or paintbrush is able to draw and paint, while a child who has literary skills to write may write a story and draw a picture to illustrate it. A child who has the ability to cut and fold may create something out of paper or card, while a child who cannot yet do this is able to experiment with holding the scissors and paper and using their fine motor skills to control their actions.
