The Apple Demo
This handout will teach YOU how to do The Apple Demo with a group! Why is it important? It is a very very strong visual exercise that reinforces the importance of the real in early childhood environments - NOT dittos NOT worksh*ts NOT flashcards! Memorize the steps and then take your audience through the different ways children might experience an apple. This is a great activity to do with parents at back to school night! # handouts # DAP # teaching # learning # play # pushdown # parenting

The First Ten Gifts

Oh Those Little Ones
If you work with the wee bairns this one is for you! While the theory applies to all ages, if you are needing a few fresh ideas for the little ones, this handout will assist. And while there are activities in the handout, please please please remember it's never ever about the activities; it is about the caring, the connecting, the relationships and attachment! If those ingredients are missing, it doesn't matter how pretty the room is or how much stuff you got! # handouts # care # relationships # DAP # teaching # theorists
