In this episode of Play Provocations, hosts Linda Harrison and Lindsay Laing unpack the power of pretend play. Learn how inventing roles and narratives is the highest form of symbolic thought in early childhood, directly activating the prefrontal cortex to boost executive function, creativity, and problem-solving. We share ideas for creating an inviting Outer Space Play Provocation, using a picture book as a hook; together with natural & recycled resources, tinkering tools and star projectors to create an immersive environment. You'll take away innovative ideas to help you design an aesthetically inviting, narrative-anchored play space that deepens children's imaginative play!If you enjoyed this episode, consider leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform.
