SYMBOLIC OR MAKE-BELIEVE
VIDEO PLAY
Sensorimotor or practice play
• Begins with the infant’s accidental discovery
of an activity that is inherently satisfying and
consists of the continuous repetition of that
activity for the sheer joy of doing it.
• The developmental transitions in
sensorimotor play are nicely illustrated by the
behaviors that Piaget called circular reactions,
which appear in three increasingly
sophisticated forms.
-Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months)
-Secondary Circular Reactions (4-8
months)
-Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18
months)
Tertiary circular reactions
• The repetition of the previous stage is
accompanied by an attempt to vary the
activity instead of repeating it precisely.
• The playful element in this type of circular
reaction is very clear, as the child appears to
enjoy novelty and actively looks for new
ways of producing interesting experiences.
Plays with objects
• Involves the intentional manipulation of
objects, with a definite interest on the part of
the player in the results of the manipulation.
Appropriate Toys for the 1-2 Years of Life
AGE PLAY MATERIALS
12-18 months Push toys ; pull toys ; balls to throw ; plain
and interlocking blocks ; simple puzzles
with large, easy-to-handle pieces ; form
boards ; pegboards ; stacking toys ; and
riding toys with wheels low to the ground.
18-24 months Toys for the sandbox and for water play :
spoons, shovels, and pails of various sizes.
Storybooks, blocks in a variety of sizes,
dolls, stuffed animals, puppets and
miniature life toys.
One year
• Babies in the latter part of their first year
love banging and manipulating object.
• Particularly enjoy putting things into one
another and taking them out again.
• They know how to turn the pages of a book
Two year
1.Decline in behaviors
involving only one object
at a time
3.Dramatic
2.Do with the
increase in the
appropriate uses
representational
of playthings
use of object
• By the age of 12-13 months parents will
notice the combining of object in play.
• Children now begin to realize the functions of
objects.
• There are three types of behaviors that are
found in infant object play which are
indiscriminate, investigative and appropriate.
• Characterized by the mental substitution of
one object for another (Fenson,1986).
Indiscriminate
• behaviors are those in which the child reacts
to all objects in the same way, regardless of
their individual properties.
• For example, steven is given a toy telephone
and immediately puts the receiver into his
mouth and begins to suck on it.
VIDEO
Investigative
• The exploration of the specific features of
objects.
• For example, stephanie is given a toy
telephone and examines it carefully, looking
at it from different angles and fingering its
varies parts.
video
Appropriate
• The use of objects in the ways they were
intended to be used.
• For example, todd is given a toy telephone,
holds the receiver to his ear, and begins to
dial with his finger.
Video
Symbolic or make-believe play
• A new type of play emerge.
• Represent reality to themselves through the
use of symbols to let one thing stand for
another.
• Can be seen in the child’s use of words.
• In fact, a growing body of evidence indicates
a relationship between pretend play
competence and the comprehension of
language during the second year, perhaps
because both involve the ability to work with
symbols. ( Lupton & Watson, 2000)

lapses in memory and recall as well as the excitement of the moment.

LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
Head and Shoulders
• Advantage:
• - Increase receptive language skills
• -Promote self-expression through spoken language
• Disadvantage:

acquiring words explode
• Suggestion:
• - When singing the song and modeling, the actions, go very slowly, allowing the toddler
to successfully participate.
• - Increase the pace when the toddler is ready.

Animal sounds
Advantage:
- Continue developing receptive language skills
- Verbally identify animals
Disadvantage:
- If not use the word in full sentences, the language skills of toddlers in
terms of vocabulary is weak.
Effect:

add new meanings to words. Eventually, their definitions will correspond to an
adult’s definition.
Suggestion:
- Keep your commands as simple and direct as possible.

video
Sink or Float?
Advantage:
- Understand the terms sink or float
- Create and test hypothesis
Effect:
- Children at this age are anxious to explore their world using a hand-on
approach. By exploring, they construct knowledge. Provide them a
stimulating environment containing hands-on materials. When playing
with the materials, they will observe and solve problems. Hence,
complex science concepts can be introduced through simple activities
such as sink or float.
Suggestion:
- If the toddlers are more interested in just playing in the water,
encourage this behavior by removing the sink and float items.
video
Sorting Shapes
Advantage:
- Differentiate objects by shape
- Match individual shapes to form and the sorter
