The cards represent 6 cycles – of water, man, plant, bird, frog and butterfly.

      Treasure Basket Explorations

      Heuristic Learning for Infants and Toddlers

      by Laura Wilhem, EdD

      For the littlest learners, everything is an activity--feeling a rock, trying to lick a bubble, smelling a flower, or poking sand. In Treasure-Basket Explorations: Heuristic Learning for Infants and Toddlers, teachers and caregivers of infants and toddlers will learn how these simple explorations support cognitive and vocabulary development. Grounded in the theory of early education pioneer Elinor Goldschmied, the book explains heuristic learning--discovery by trial and error--and how to encourage this type of learning to boost development. Teachers will learn how to set up treasure baskets that encourage heuristic play: containers filled with easy-to-find items that support explorations in emergent language, math, and science skills. Encourage children to discover the sounds that a metal cup makes when banged on the floor. Invite them to feel the velvety texture of soft fabric or the bumpiness of a loofah sponge. Let them explore what a wooden ring and a cotton handkerchief can do together. Through his explorations, the child is answering some fundamental questions: What is this and what can I do with it? Later, he will add to his knowledge: What else can this do and what can this become? This is cognitive development in action!

      by Idea by Kateryna Sinchenko

      When the crawfish whistles on the mountain top, and the pigs start to fly, when the hungry wolf and the hunter with holed heads stop making an elephant out of a fly (the same as making a mountain out of a molehill), and finally, take the bull by the horns, so that you don't have to bite your own elbows (or kick yourself, for that matter), and cry over spilt milk. You don't believe that? Well, you should, because all these wonders and other peculiarities take place in the book called "Eyes on stalks", dedicated to Ukrainian and English idioms, where phraseology of the two languages is brought together on unusual illustrations. With this book, it's fun and easy to learn Ukrainian and English languages at the same time.
