Physical play can develop two different areas:

1. Gross motor skills – the development of large body movements such as running and jumping.

2. Fine motor skills – the development of smaller body movements such as mark-making and threading.

• Heuristic play.

AC 4.2 Implement activities which support children’s:• Heuristic play.

Learning Outcomes



• Heuristic play involves children playing with everyday objects.

• The objects used for heuristic play must be age appropriate and safe.

• Treasure baskets are often used for children to explore, and could contain a wide range of natural materials.

Starter activity


Move around the room and add resources you could put into the baskets.


Pairs activity

Time: 15 minsLook at the picture of the treasure basket on the previous slide.

Consider:• The age it is suitable for• How it will develop children’s senses• What children will learn from exploring its contents• The benefits of playing with natural materials

• Have you seen a treasure basket or similar in your setting?• Do the children enjoy playing with it? Why?



• You are required to carry out activities in each of the areas discussed and to describe the benefits of each type of play.

• You can combine two or more areas when planning, but you must clearly identify each area and its specific benefits to children’s learning and development.

Revisit any completed activity plans to check the details


Different types of play

Reflection activity

Time: 15 minsIs there an area of play within the setting that you do not like taking part in?

Consider:• Outdoor play• Messy play• Role play• Tactile play

How might this impact on the children?How can you overcome your dislike for this area of play?



Fold an A4 piece of paper in half Create a help sheet to support parents/carer’s on the other side of your A4 poster, of how to create a heuristic basket at home, to add to the display on a setting’s information board.

Use the Nabi’s and the EYE books to aid you complete some supporting research. Remember to add in a quote.

• Heuristic play.

AC 4.2 Implement activities which support children’s:• Heuristic play.

Learning Outcomes



Extension activity

Time: 15 minsElinor Goldschmied developed the idea of babies learning through exploring treasure baskets. How would you explain the benefits to a new parent/carer?

Consider:• Creating an age-appropriate treasure basket using items from around the

home• How it will support all areas of development• The value of learning through exploring• The benefits of heuristic play.



Summary

• Children will learn and develop through a well-planned variety of play activities.

• Some children will prefer one type of play, but all types of play should be offered.

• Different types of play can be combined in one activity to support even more learning and development.


1. What are the two types of physical play called?

2. Describe three activities that can be planned for creative play.

3. List 10 things you could put in a treasure basket that would be suitable for an 18-month-old child.
