Promoting play, defending childhood, and empowering caregivers.
Using tools makes kids feel strong, capable, confident, and powerful. This session looks at setting up learning-rich and safe tool-use experiences for young children. We also offer tips to help adults who feel intimidated by tools get more comfortable with them, so they can better support tool-wielding kids.
Recordings of past live online training events are available for those interested in the topic but who do not need a training certificate. These recordings also include access to a resource page full of useful related links
