All children are born with a natural drive to play. Here's E engaging in her own play, totally child-led.
We have had the box of shredded paper out for the past three weeks. Today, E got into the box by herself and sat in the box for a good 20 minutes. She scooped paper in her hands and threw it up into the air. And she laughed.
We were there copying her actions. E threw some of the paper at us. It was an invitation to join her in play. We scooped up some paper and let it fall down on her. She shook the paper off and smiled.
