Using everyday items like those from my recycling bin, there is so much power in open-ended materials in imaginative play. Zeba also discusses simple organization strategies and how introducing materials gradually helps kids stay engaged. Through play, students develop storytelling skills, explore math concepts, and learn that the process matters more than the final product.
