I will want to use materials that reflect the backgrounds and current practices of children and families enrolled. It is important to use materials that help to encourage children to think critically, question and experiment. I can determine if it is developmentally appropriate by observing.

I will want to provide materials that reflect and benefit each child and their families. I will want to use materials that allow them to learn and explore new things. I will be able to see if these materials are developmentally appropriate by observing the children.

I should provide different materials and activities that are age and developmentally appropriate for children under my care. Additionally, I should provide materials of different textures, shapes and weights for children to explore and learn from. Furthermore, the materials and activities provided should also develop gross motor skills, fine motor skills, executive function skills and others. It is also important to include materials and activities that will encourage learning about diversity. I determine if an activity and material is age appropriate through my knowledge about child development and the milestone list as well as by carefully observing the children on my care overtime and on different settings.

The materials that I should provide to the children in my care should benefit all of their needs. The materials should also evoke the children to think outside of the box and to promote imagination.

I provide separate materials to use for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Each group has different educational materials that appropriate for them. For infants, soft toys like blocks, animal figure, pretend toys like phone and more. Toys for infants need to be appropriate size for them. Make sure that no choking hazard materials at infants room. For Toddlers materials example are baby toys, pretend kitchen toy, bouncy balls, in educational activities toddlers are very excited to learn on how to paste and color so they need someone to assist them, this age they love to learn bubble play, play dough play and more sensory activity. For preschoolers I provide variety of activities like collage making, planting flowers and other plants, making beads necklace, blowing, learning writing the letter then their names. Familiarizing the alphabets, colors, numbers, places and more.

first thing when determining if certain materials are age appropriate is is this safe? can they choke or cut them selves or accidentally hurt another child with this? They should also be materials that is not to advanced or not advanced enough for example puzzles and books. FOr example for toddlers i may provide crayons and more assisted art activities where as older children like school age i may offer a coloring book or something more advanced.

the tys should reflect the age and devvelopment of the children in your care as well as multiples of a material so that if needed each child can play with the objects together at one time. the material should range in subject matter based in fine and gross motor (legos, and climbing toys), literacy (books and music) cognitive ( art materials) mathmatics, science and dramatic play (dolls, people and props)

I would use things that would get the children excited about learning and that would get them more engaged

It is important to ensure the materials and practices of your program reflect the backgrounds and current practices of the children and families enrolled, and are based on developmentally appropriate practice - materials, equipment and activities need to be appropriate for the range of ages and stages of development for all of the children you are caring for. Think about the individual needs of children and provide a variety of materials and activities that support the children's individuality. Multiples of favorite items may be helpful, especially for younger children who are still developing the skills for sharing and taking turns.
