Simple decisions about ‘what will you wear today’ or ‘what book do you want to read?’ help build their confidence in the ability to decide things. Offer a variety of materials to use when drawing, constructing, creating and writing. Open-ended materials can be used in many different ways and the way it will be used is determined by the child. Examples: cardboard boxes, coloured construction paper, collection of markers, pipe cleaners, glue, novel items (lids, tubes, bolts, containers.) Participate in interactive conversations.
