About Heuristic Materials

Heuristic Play is a wonderful opportunity to capitalize on children’s curiosity about the objects that make up the world around them. The resources which make up these 2 pages will not be the kinds of objects traditionally thought of as toys for young children but they provide equally valuable opportunities for extending children’s learning. There is no right or wrong way to play with Heuristic Play resources so everyone’s ideas are equally valid and worthwhile. The open ended nature of the resources means that all children can explore and investigate in their own way, applying their own creative ideas and building on their own experiences. All items come with what is shown. Ages 1+.
