Poking, Pinching & Pretending: Documenting Toddlers' Explorations with Clay

Poking, Pinching, & Pretending investigates how one group of toddlers learns about clay as an early "language." Inspired by the "child-originated and teacher-framed" approach synonymous with Reggio Emilia, this resource encourages educators to share the questions and theories that come from observing and documenting children’s interactions with clay to heighten their understanding of how toddlers explore, represent and learn.
