  • Resources for Early Learning

  • Children, Adults and Stuff
  • Resources for Early Learning explores the use of materials for learning within a social context. Pat Gura explores the possibilities of different kinds of 'stuff' (blocks, beads, climbing frames, dolls and found materials) as tools of all-round development in early childhood. Resources for Early Learning is an original edition, previously published by Hodder & Stoughton. presents a range of strategies to help early years practitioners evaluate their provision as they strive to create environments for early learning which are culturally, developmentally and personally appropriate; takes a critical look at the conventional assumptions early years practitioners make about sand, water, paint, and the home area; encourages practitioners to reflect on their practice.

  • 1I feel this book would be valuable to all childcarers. It is well worth the time you can spare for a first read, and would make a good "dip-in" reference book for the future. The study described is set in a school, but consideration of pre-school groups is also made. Childminders could easily adopt the ideas presented for play within their own homes and encourage them within those of the children also. The value of parental involvement is strongly emphasised' - Who Minds `The book is highly recommended particularly for early years teachers and teachers in training where the findings and general comments will give a good underpinning to classroom practice' - Early Years In this book, the authors present an interpretative account of a piece of collaborative action-research into children's blockplay during a three-year project. Children from three to seven years, early years teachers, nursery nurses, and two members of staff from the Froebel Institute College, Roehampton Institute, all acting as participant observers, shared in the discovery of the blockplay.
