Shared Project

This past week, we provided activity packs for families in the community that included instructions for one of our curriculum games, Shared Project. Collaborative play is one of the most important kinds of play for young children. It teaches them to work with others, empathize, and solve problems as a team. They practice compromising, negotiating, and taking turns. Shared Project is a very versatile activity. Nearly every household item can be incorporated into a craft creation. Pipe cleaners, dry noodles, newspaper, and coffee beans are just a few examples of everyday items that can be used for Shared Project. As your children (or you and your child) plan and execute a project together, you allow them to build their brains in a fun, creative way.
