Mary D. Sheridan's Play in Early Childhood is a classic introductory text to play and development - key topics for all those who work with young children. Drawing on the most up-to-date evidence, it explains how children's play develops and how they develop as they play.
With over 100 illustrations and observations of play from birth to six years, this new edition presents classical and contemporary literature, making clear links between play and all areas of children's development. It includes updated activities to consolidate thinking and suggestions for further reading throughout. This text considers:
