Alan and the bolsters

Four large foam bolsters are perfect for inspiring Alan. With these simple, open-ended materials, Alan demonstrates how toddlers use hands-on experiences to construct their own learning and understanding. In this case, Alan explores the concepts of shape and colour, as well as some of the laws of physics.

Featuring:
Alan (2 years, 2 months)

Please note: The children's ages have been adjusted to reflect the three-month gap between the first filming session in March and this one in June.

Child-care centre: Big Step

Date and Time: June 3, 2010, afternoon
