Revised and expanded, it contains a wealth of practical and specific activities and materials to use with infants and toddlers to enhance growth and development.  For each activity presented, the text examines its relation to the rapid brain growth that characterizes the 0 to 3 years, including major developments in sensory reception, movement, language, cognition, memory, vision, and motivation. Featured materials, with guidance for their use and where to find them, include paint, mark-makers, man-made found objects, natural objects, clay, paper, and light and shadow. This edition features many full color images and two new chapters on using electronic technology with infants and toddlers written by outstanding early educators. This is an essential guide for trainers and professionals who work with very young children, as well as parents and other caregivers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe interpretation of current neuroscience as a supplement to the wisdom of excellent early childhood educators.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNumerous vignettes of teachers at work with young children inspired by the experiences of lifelong early educator Ann Lewin-Benham.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNew ideas regarding the responsible introduction of electronic technology to young children.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOriginal color photos of children learning with traditional materials such as paint, clay, and fabric, as well as with electronic devices such as cameras and computers. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInsights and practices of renowned cognitive psychologists, including Stanislas Dehaene.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword to the First Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eMihaly Csikszentmihalyi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Impetus for the Book\u003cbr\u003eResearch\u003cbr\u003eTeaching Techniques\u003cbr\u003eMaterials\u003cbr\u003eLearning Exemplars: The Reggio Schools\u003cbr\u003eChapter Overview\u003cbr\u003eFour Big Ideas in This Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.  Why Use Materials?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Infants and Toddlers in Flow\u003cbr\u003eHumans: Unique Learners\u003cbr\u003eSensitive Periods and Brain Plasticity\u003cbr\u003eStructuring the Use of Materials\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Materials' Meaning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.  Framing Experiences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Brain's Attention Systems\u003cbr\u003eFacing Complexity\u003cbr\u003eChallenges: Glue, Scissors, Clay, Sewing\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Accumulating Skills\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.  Infants and Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Infants' Predispositions\u003cbr\u003eAdults' Intentionality\u003cbr\u003eFood, Paper, Fabric, Sound\u003cbr\u003eDay by Day in Provocative Infant Spaces\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Natural Learners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.  Man-Made Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cultural Contrasts: 10,000 Years Ago and Now\u003cbr\u003eReggio and Neuroscience Resonances\u003cbr\u003eThe Design and Development of Materials\u003cbr\u003eOne Huge and Many Small Events\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Meaning-Full Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.  Painting With Tempera\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stumbling, Reflecting, Learning\u003cbr\u003eA Theory of How We Learn\u003cbr\u003eTeaching With Intention\u003cbr\u003eA Culture of Relationships\u003cbr\u003eBeginning Use of Tempera\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: The Joy of Painting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.  Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6-Month- and 2-Year-Old Reactions\u003cbr\u003eMolding the Brain\u003cbr\u003eGames\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7.  Mark-Making\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Natural Language\u003cbr\u003eAn Innate Drive\u003cbr\u003eA Story from Reggio\u003cbr\u003eComplex Intersections: Drawing and Decisions\u003cbr\u003eSmall Choices\/Large Impacts\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Portraits Plus\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Drawing, An Imperative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8.  Exploring Paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paper, Brain, and Hand\u003cbr\u003eNew Ways With Paper: Eight Months of Activities\u003cbr\u003ePaper, Infants, and Toddlers: Reggio Stories\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: New Perspectives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9.  Natural Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Learning to See\u003cbr\u003eInfant\/Toddler Investigations of Nature\u003cbr\u003eThe Bounty of Natural Materials\u003cbr\u003eResearch, Nature, and the Classroom\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: The Power and Pleasure of Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10.  Light and Shadow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How We Know What We See\u003cbr\u003eDiscovering Light and Shadow\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Enticing the Infant\/Toddler Brain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11.
