Assignment 2 How Do Children Play? It is important for early childhood educators to recognize different types of play while they observe children. Observation is the basis for planning appropriate activities, play spaces, and individual activities. Think about what you have learned about children's play. Then, read the following scenario and answer the questions. Scenario 1 Shalanda (7 months) crawls over to a rattle and places it in her mouth. It shakes and makes a noise. Her eyebrows rise up and her hands start to shake. She begins to giggle. She crawls back over to the toy shelf and gets another rattle. She again puts it in her mouth and nothing happens. She begins to cry. The early childhood educator goes over and picks her up. She puts her in the high chair and tries to feed her lunch. What activity was the baby enjoying? Why do you think the early childhood educator took her away from the rattles? What would you have done? What future activities could you plan for Shalanda?
