In my opinion the heart of the child's play was curiosity. As I watched her turn the faucet on and off while holding her hands and the soup dispenser under the water flow, I noticed her excitement and pride in controlling the water. If I were to create an environment to expand this experience I would provide her with a number of materials for her to explore. I would provide something she could stop and start water flow, something like a water dispenser with a spout. This way she would be able to have a similar experience as she had in the bathroom. This dispenser would be on a flat surface with a troth or large container to collect the water flow. I would also provide things she could fill with water for the pouring experience. Some containers would have holes for an added level of fun.

This Pinterest provocation is great for supporting her type of play because it promotes her curious exploration. She knows that one thing causes another by the water turning on when she stepped up to lift up the faucet. In this type of activity, she can explore the different paths she can create with barriers and how to get the boat from one end to the other through water flow.  http://cottonridgehomeschool.com/2014/01/30/fun-educational-in-chattanooga-tn-creative-discovery-childrens-museum/

Watching this video I can see that the little girl knows that when she covers the drain with something it fills up. Also, I think that she knows when you push up the faucet it turns on the water, when you pull down it turns off the water. She gets down climbs back up to turn on the water a few more times. She is curious as to what the water can do. How she can make the water do things. My provocation would be to make primary colors into secondary colors by using water, food coloring and wax paper. This activity helps with fine motor skills, learning colors, being artistic and curious and making things fun. This will encourage her to learn her colors and to be creative and explore her curiousness in just one project. My provocation is a video on this idea that could be endless amounts of fun.

Looking at the video I think that the girl knows that the sink is associated with water and she probably goes to the sink to wash hands. She also knows that she needs to use soap to wash hands since we see her toying with the soap dispenser. The heart of the video for me is curiosity. When she discovers that every time she turns the faucet on, she sees water coming from the faucet, she is curious and her curiosity increases. She goes back to turning the faucet on and off several times and puts her hand to sense the water. She also sees that the water stops every time she turns the faucet off.

Looking at your curiosity with water I have provided you with a tub of water and some items like stones, leaves and twigs. I wonder how curious you will be to play with water and to see that some things sink and some float in the water. You can have a fun time putting your hands in water and explore and move things in the water.

After watching the little girl play at the sink, I think this image fits well for a provocation. She is playing with a sense of curiosity! She knows that when she pushes the handle on the faucet up, the water comes out. When she pulls it down, the water stops. She is also aware of how to use the step stool with the assistance of the sink counter. The girl has a smile on her face as she turns on the faucet and watches the water flow out. The It is similar to the boy in the image but instead of a faucet, it is a cup! I think she would have a blast using a cup to fill up and dump out herself. She also climbs back up and down the step stool. The boy in the image is just using a tub so he would just stand up and bend down if he wanted to move around and then come back. This opportunity would help with her gross motor skills as she would also be bending at the knees like she does with the step stool.

After watching the video of the little girl playing in a he sink water I realized she was displaying a sense of curiosity. By her turning the water from on to off and getting up and down and scooting the stool over a little bit to get it right and the excitement behind it all you can tell the little girl was intrigued by it . The heart of child’s play to me is watching kids get so excited when they feel like they’ve accomplished something or that they’ve done quod at. It’s very rewarding yet exciting to watch as there little minds turn. This picture of water play shows the kids using lego blocks to stack and build what looks like a water slide. You can see there focus and determination in the photo.

Children love to explore as we know. The heart of the story is the child is busy to exploring the environment near her. She is feeling the water and finding ways to play with it and learn by turning the tap on multiple times. I am curious to know what the child does, if I give her a bucket of water and some toys to play in it. I want to know her curiosity of using the materials and spending time to find new ways to play with it.

Child’s play is always amazing to watch an observe as an adult. The heart of a child’s play it really all about exploring through creativity and letting the child’s imagination take over. This image shows my Son having an experience with a giant ice block and water. He got to experience the cracking of the ice and playing with cold water. He really enjoyed the water and poking the ice block. Like the little girl in the video grabbing at the water my Son had so much fun splashing in the water.

The heart of the child is curiosity and excitement. When she started, she had the She displayed curiosity when watching what happens with the water when she was holding the soap dispenser under the faucet, and them moved it altogether to turn the water off and back on again. She showed her excitement with her big grin and facial expression. This provocation can expand her curiosity. She can pour water through the pipes and test how long it takes for the water to run through. Since she was excited about touching the water, this is a great activity.

As I watched her touch the water with her hands and turning the faucet on and off, I noticed that she liked the feel of water touching her fingers. I wonder if we can be more creative when touching the water. We can use water to wet our sidewalk chalk, making it look more creamy and vibrant when it hits the cement. We can create different opportunities with our water chalk masterpieces while feeling the chalk's texture and seeing the bright colors hit the ground. We can add more water to the chalk, making it creamier with water than without, along with using our hands, paper, leaves, pebbles from outside to paint on or trace on the sidewalk with our wet chalk to make a story. Making marvelous creations with water and chalk can encourage children to know their possibilities with something so simple.

The heart of child's play is exploration, creativity and learning without direction. I chose this image of children playing in the trees and water as an example of provocation. They are playing on their terms without direction or a planned activity (child led), the children are smiling and expressing excitement, they are playing with multiple elements (water and earth-variables), and this is a very age appropriate activity; exploring nature, learning spatial and body awareness through play and building social skills.

i believe the heart of the child's play was her innate curiosity and interest in the water. this provocation can help further the learning process by offering different tools to explore and play with in the water. Having the bears and the bowls to separate them as well as being able to wash them and play with them in the water!

The heart of the child's play her curiosity with water.  This provocation matches her expressed desire to play with the faucet. She can control the flow of water, fill up buckets and pour them out and/or simply splash the pool of water on the bottom. There are plenty of loose parts for her decide how she wants to engage with the materials.

Hi Everyone! In the video leading up to the padlet, i believe that the heart of the child's play was her sense of wonder, and curiosity. I believe that she showed both of those things. The little girl in the module's video was very curious about how to stand on the stool and watch the way that the water flowed out of the faucet- and how it sounded as more came out. It also looked like she had a cup on her hand that helped show her curiosity and wonder, because she would fill the cup and pour it out, down what looked like a drain. I think that the provocation from pinterest that i chose, matches the child's expressed desire because in the picture there are a couple of cups and a spoon, in which a child can scoop up water, and watch as it pours back out into the silver pan. This can engage curiosity and let a child wonder how many ways he or she can collect water, and pour it out. This provocation will allow a child to build or improve on skills like confidence, creativity and independence.

Hello Everyone,
I chose this provocation because she expressed curiosity in water flow, sound, and the independence to control it. The child will be able to control how much water to pour and investigate and discover her curiosities. Not only she will be able to hear what water sounds likes when poured but also listen to it drain. She will be able to control how much water drains and learn about gravity as the water flows. This provocation will also guide her to build different skills such as confidence, higher self esteem, independence, and social skills. Her investigation will lead her to new discoveries and explorations.

The heart of the child was exploration and playing with water. I loved watching you play with the water that was coming from the sink you turned the faucet on and off. You climbed down the steps and back up turn the water on and played in the water some more. At one point when you got down off of the step you rubbed your fingers on your hand as if to feel the water on your hands. I wonder what you would do with what I have set up for you today? This provocation will add to the ways to fill water come out of spouts through the tubes through the shower head. Along with the pool of water under it.

I chose this provocation because I thought it was developmentally appropriate and easy to set up. I thought the heart of her play was about manipulating the water and cause and effect. With this provocation she can control when the object goes down the slide by including it in the jug or not. She also has the satisfaction of seeing it go down and is getting the sensory play from the water.

I believe that the heart of the child was curiosity and also independence.  As the child was exploring water, I got the sense that they felt a freedom to play at the sink.
As I watched you at the sink, you smiled and giggled as you turned the faucet on and off.  You placed your hands in the water and watched as the water ran throw your fingers.  The water held your attention for a good period of time.  You showed excitement and curiosity at the sink.
After watching you play in the water, I thought you might want to investigate water with some of these other items.  Measuring cups, measuring jugs, sieves, funnels, and other items could assist with your intrigue with water.  I hope that you would be interested in adding some of these items to your water play.  Enjoy.

It seems as though the child has learned from previous experiences, either by washing hands or watching others do it. She giggled when she turned off the water faucet, turned it on, and giggled more. She demonstrated coordination and independence when she turned the water faucet on and off.

The water play below will assist the child in enhancing hand and eye coordination, social emotional if she plays with others, and learning to share the space and material with others. By adding other elements such as toy dinosaurs, butterflies, and so on, would ignite their play imagination as well as language because it is more likely that children will speak among each other; or if the child play alone it may use a monologue; creative play.

The heart of a child's play is crucial for their development of self and learning outcomes. I was fascinated by you playing  in the water  today! Toy I saw you fill up an empty soap bottle that we all wash our hands with. You then put the soap bottle aside to turn on and off the faucet. Your eyes opened wide, with a chuckle, and sticking out your tongue because you had just shut off the faucet. You were manipulating where the water was going and stopping it. Manipulating means being able to make it go where you want it. Turning the faucet on the water went down the drain and then you put your hands in the sink to let the water fall on your little fingers. Your play was exciting to watch and inspired me to add water, science, outdoor, bubbles, and other fun objects to your provocation water play. You used math and science by making the water turn off and on, also by filling and emptying the soap hand wash bottle. I want to continue see you open your eyes as wide as an owl! I would create a sensory water outdoor play where you could use your hands to feel and play to your heart's desire!

This provocation supports curiosity through cognitive, problem solving, inventiveness of thinking, and persists.
You can add measuring cups, poultry basters, strainers, and squeeze bottles. With these items you can fill them with water and pour it out. You can measure the water or let it flow over your hands through some of the items. Also, you can pump the water and watch it flow from the faucet. Maybe you would just like to hold your hands under the flowing water for a few seconds. These possibilities and provocation can expand your curiosity.

The heart of the child's play was water.  The curiosity of watching the flow of water leaving the faucet and the feeling of water touching her hands was amazing to watch.  You were interested in the control you had when turning the faucet off and on.  You experienced gross motor skills.  By providing you with 2 bowls of water, you can add objects inside the water and see how those objects take when they are submerged into the water.  Providing you with mirrors as well, you can then see yourself engaging in the water and seeing your expressions.

The inquiry and exploration of this child and water was the heart of the play, and was so captivating! She was using her senses to navigate the fluidity, temperature, and manageability of the substance. You were also exploring the mechanics of the faucet, and its relation to control the output of the water. With the addition of water bottles and measuring tools, you can further explore the waters fluidity, manageability, and controlling the flow of it.

The heart of the child's play seems be directed with the water as well as using her manipulative skills (hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, ect.)  she seems to be intrigued with the water and how it feels on her hand. By providing you a tub of water you are still able to feel and touch the water. Adding The floating blocks will help you continue to use your manipulative skills. will you stack them? will you sort them? will you want the blocks in the water? I would be very curious to see how you would react!

The heart of this Childs play was seeing and feeling the water as it comes out of the water faucet. She knew in order to to reach her goal of seeing the water come out of the faucet she had to manipulate the handle in an up and down motion. This child is probably used to washing her hands so she  has prior knowledge of how a sink and faucet works. Since you were curious of water and and how in order to make the water come out of faucet you have to move the handles we provided you with a sink and toys. I hope you have fun in your exploration of where and how water comes out of the faucet.

I enjoyed watching you explore with the water faucet. As you turn off and on the Faucet watching the water come and go. You also explored by running your hands through the water. Having to understand your interests with the water faucet we will provide you with a different activity. It's called the scoop and transfer activity that also involves water. We will provide you many loose materials to use that you can choose from. Given a bucket of water and a empty bucket to transfer all the items. You'll be given different tools to be able to scoop the loose materials. This will allow you to explore with the water and explore with all the different materials.  Exploring with water can be very fun!

You used the chair to increase your height to turned on the water. At this point, I know you like to play with water. We want to provide you with more materials to explore the world. We provide food color, oil, water and pipettes. These materials have different textures. Water and oil cannot be mixed together. This is a science  experiment. Because the density of water and oil is different, oil always floats on the top. I believe you'd better explore the world of water.

The heart of the child's play is curiosity. She knew it wet her hands and she knew that moving the faucet up and down started water and turned it off. However, her curiosity is why and how it does that.
Due to her curiosity expirmenting with ice and different colors and see how they mix as they melt. It is open ended
because they could mix different colors in different ways.

As I watched you explore turning on and off the sink facet and running your hands through the water it made me think that you were curious about what you were discovering. You knew pushing the facet handle up water will come out and pushing it down will make it stop. To continue your water curiosity we can explore a water jug with a spout that you can turn on and off. I wonder if you will want to wash an item with the water from the water jug like you did in the sink. Will you stick your hand under the running water again or will you try something different like filling jars of water by turning the water jug on and off? I cant want to see what you do!

You demonstrated interest to play with water as you were washing a bottle on the sink. You were also touching the water. At times you were turning off and on the water faucet. To extend your water exploration, we can offer several loose items. We can provide her with different size cups,  rubber duckies, sponges, and water bottles. Providing her different loose items can help her expand her exploration.
