"Materials Project: Fabric" VIDEOCHAT
with Heather Jackson
Wednesday, January 22nd, 3:00-4:00 PM (ET)
How can we transform fabric into a play material? Join Heather Jackson, Executive Director of The Sunflower School in Ontario Canada, as she shares how various age-groups, from infants to pre-schoolers, learned how to use fabric to cover, entangle, bundle, tangle, fly, and enhance play schemas. Learn to look at fabric from a different lens in your early childhood classroom. There will be handouts and resources, and time for questions.
