Part A: Play Space Design
Instructions:
You are asked to design an indoor or outdoor play space for an age group of your choice (0-6 months, 6 months-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, or 3-4 years). Consider elements such as the layout and available resources, how they are used, and their purposes. You may use any computer program to create the design, or it can be hand-drawn. Your design must be inserted into this template (in the section below) and clearly labelled. In a separate section following the design, provide a 300-word written statement explaining how your personal philosophy on play-based pedagogy has informed your design for this particular age group.
