It says it in all the books ;) "In most 2 year olds, parallel play is primarily seen in their play. As the children mature, they start to play with each other."
At the beginning of the year sharing, waiting our turn, negotiating and collaborating was difficult. As morahs, we did our best to guide, model and give the children the tools to develop these skills. It is a delight to watch the shift happen within our classroom.
The above pictures are a peek at our KB-3 children playing together.They worked together building a magna-tiles castle. Some children held up the tower while other children added new squares. In another picture Shane and Annabel are taking turns throwing the ball to each other. Morning trays are usually a one person activity but often, the children ask to play together, they pull over a chair and make space for each other and share.
