Just doing the last bit on task 7
'Compare how other resources avaliable for children support their play'
It gives the example of the chart in the book but should i be doing exactly this or is that just copying?
What did anyone else do? I'm doing online with the NCMA
Thank you

As well as using toys and household items within the setting there are other resources available.
Toddler groups in local school provide a 2 hour play session for children twice a week. With different toys and other children to play with it offers younger children and babies a chance to interact with others.
The local library offers a chance to read different story books to the children along with the opportunity for children to choose books for themselves.
Drop in and play at the local children’s centre others children a chance to interact with other children and for them to have a different variety of toys to play with.
Toy libraries offer the chance to loan toys so that children get a greater variety to play with within the setting.

Using any of the resources above help provide a variety of play for the children, helping with their development and personal skills.
Children can play and get on with children they see daily at home or within the setting. However not all children are used to being around other children so introducing them to groups such as toddlers and drop in and plays it give the can help develop their personal and social skills.
