Infant Child Observation
Infant child observation Jennifer Jeffries February 25, 2017“A playground should be like a small-scale replica of the world, with as many as possible of the sensory experiences to be found in the world included in it. Experiences for every sense are needed for instance: rough and smooth; objects to look at and feel; light and heavy things to pick up; water and wet materials as well as dry things; cool materials and materials warmed by the sun; soft and hard surfaces; things that make sounds or that can be struck, plucked, plinked, etc.; smells of all varieties; shiny, bright objects and dull, dark ones; things both huge and tiny; high and low places to look at and from; materials of every type-natural, synthetic, thin, thick, and so on.

I watched as the caregiver bent down to her level, praising her for doing such a great job walking. The caregiver walks over and sees the other infant-toddlers are blocking the entrance. I noticed then thecaregiver walks back over and asks the infant girl if shed like to play on the grass with her. The caregiver takes her hand and sits down on the grass.
