Why is it that, when children play, some behave like butterflies, flitting around among the flowers of the activities on offer, landing for a moment before moving on to the next attractive flower (activity) while others behave with the single minded concentration of bees?As children grow and learn, they acquire skills through play and practical activities.

This recently acquired learning is tenuous and is secured through practice, repeating the skills in different contexts, with different people.

Only then will learning be 'hard wired' for life. It is now evident that where children are able to select resources, play companions and activities for themselves, they can practise emerging skills and concepts by selecting the resources they need and using them in ways which are unique to them.This book, written by a group of experts in early years practice, explores the place and purpose of child-intitiated learning in high quality early years practice.

Child-initiated learning is a key feature of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
