We're getting ready to head into our session on literacy and loose parts with Dr Carla Gull. Moderated by @twisha27 and supported by @shamal_merchant and @KKatPlay. Grab a quick snack and drink and come back to continue our #EYPlayParty🎈 
What exactly do we mean by literacy? Although reading & writing immediately come to mind, according to @AlbertaEd, in EY it is the ability, confidence, & willingness to engage with language to acquire, construct, & communicate meaning in all aspects of daily living. #ToddlePlay
And what about loose parts? Simply put, it refers to objects that can be put together in many different without specific direction. #EYLooseParty #LoosePartsPlay
We have @sharrismackay and @matt_karlsen of @Playfulinquiry kicking off our session on Playing with Word and World, with people streaming in from Canada, Colombia, the Netherlands, Trinidad, Oman....phew! Let's keep this #EYPlayParty going!
Kicking off with an introduction to the story workshop and a beautiful video, it was found that materials provided a fantastic medium of expression for children. Who found it, you ask? The children themselves! Take a look at their feedback! @Playfulinquiry #EYPlayParty
Susan created an incredible collage in real time for us, to share a story that reminded her of her childhood. It's lovely to see people sharing memories of their childhood (we're seeing lots of first bicycle rides🚲)
