Providing a fresh approach to examining development in the early
years, this book draws together well-established ideas and theories
based on outdoor play experiences and connects them to spiritual
development in children. Elemental Play and Outdoor Learning
considers socio-cultural perspectives, guided participation and
mediated learning alongside playfulness as it looks at young
children's developing interest in the people around them, the
environment they experience and the ideas and objects that involve
them. Including rich encounters with young children and adults,
chapters cover: elemental play as an approach to observe and
support children's holistic development; the role of people in
developing effective exploratory and social skills; using the
concept of elemental play to consider the spiritual system as an
aspect of child development; imaginative play with raw, natural
materials and how prepared environments can encourage children's
natural exploration; an exploration of well-established constructs
of play and how elemental play can be integrated or
re-conceptualised with the other theories. Exploring current
thinking about natural experiences, interest in forest school
activity and fresh insight into dynamic ecological concepts, this
book will be essential reading for practitioners and students on
undergraduate and postgraduate early years and childhood studies
courses.
