Assignment:
Think about making the "perfect" playground or play space for preschoolers, both at the beginning of this stage (about 2-3 years old) and at the end of this stage (about 6 years old). Your playground should include opportunities to meet the biological, cognitive, and social needs of children at each end of this stage. Pretend you have all the money and space you want! With this in mind, answer the following questions (about 500 words):
1. Describe what your ideal playground might include to meet a physical development need for a 2 to 3 year old child at the beginning of this stage.
2. Describe how a 6 year old child at the end of this stage might be able to build or develop a physical skill with this playground.
3. Describe how your playground could provide opportunities for a 2-3 year old child to develop a cognitive skill.
4. Describe how a 6 year old child could build or develop a cognitive skill with this playground.
5. Describe how your playground could help a 2-3 year old child to develop a social skill.
6. Describe how a 6 year old child could build or develop a social skill with this playground.
7. Find a picture online of an interesting playground and paste it into your paper. Describe one aspect of this playground that could be used to build a physical, cognitive, or social skill for a preschool-aged child (2-6 years old).
