Could giving instructions in song help reduce time transitioning between activities in your setting? Research has indicated this may be so. Packed full of examples of children making and creating, this is a thorough exploration of the meaning of creativity and its links to identity, social interactions and environment. Written by a team of practitioners and researchers, its goal is to rethink practice in this area. With plenty of research and practical features and a particular focus on interaction with physical materials.
