Abstract:
"Building Brains expands young children's learning with six hundred brain-based, developmentally appropriate activity ideas. It combines the latest information on brain development with activities that support children's learning and enrich any early childhood curriculum. Rather than step-by-step activities, Building Brains is filled with open-ended ideas that early child professionals can execute in a variety of ways, depending on children's needs and interests. Ideas are organized by age-from age zero to five-and learning domains"-- Provided by publisher.
"This book lists activities without all the "ingredients" needed to execute them in the home or classroom. The easy to use activity lists allow adults to choose an idea or a group of related activities to enhance their existing curriculum"-- Provided by publisher.
