The Tucson Workshop

Sarita Drew leads leads discussion and answers questions following solitary play with Early Childhood Teachers in Tucson, Arizona.

Hands, Heart & Mind Exploring Self Active Play

It began with the willingness to play. Exploring objects together, arranging, organizing, expressing ideas, visual patterns and feelings with open ended materials. Little purple foam cylinders, gold plastic caps, bits of fabric, bra snaps and Dr. Drew’s Discovery Blocks. Transformation happens. Insight, personal skills and meaning arise during play with interesting materials. Curiosity is aroused. We are intent and focused.

Three-dimensional forms of beauty are aesthetic expressions that emerge spontaneously as we explore and create. These pleasing arrangements satisfy our desire for harmony and order through physical patterns. There is a simultaneous inner alignment, a feeling of accomplishment peace and healing.

Sarita received her Master Play Coach Certificate during the conference.
