Teaching and Learning with Collections from the Surroundings

Abstract

Activities and games with collections encourage children to think, explore and create and also build a basis for important skills for later learning. Our children are surrounded with a world where they can explore and discover objects which will help them in scientific inquiry. This would be possible only when we allow our children to explore, investigate, understand and learn about their immediate world. Collections help children in scientific inquiry and information. These can be very helpful where children can use and develop other important skills such as matching, sorting, exploring as well as they learn to work with one another
