I found this website very interesting for many reasons. However, for this particular assignment, I felt that the subject of “play” is not only fun, but very important.

“Big Body Play” (naeyc, 2012)

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, (2012) “Big body play”—the sometimes rowdy, always very physical running, rolling, climbing, tagging, jumping, grabbing, and wrestling that most children love and many adults try to shut down—can and should be an integral part of every early childhood setting.”

This particular website offers a variety of reading material (mostly books for purchasing) of different types of healthy and necessary play for young children. Not only does this website offer valuable information about play, it also offers excellence reading material concerning the holistic development of the young child.  I highly recommend a visit to this site, and if you do decide to visit this site, please tell me what you think…
