HOW TO PLAY WITH A
A tinker tray is a tray filled with loose parts/small objects used for a variety of open-ended activities or art making projects.
Tinker trays promote open-ended play + inspire creativity, critical thinking + problem solving. Manipulating loose parts helps children practice dexterity/fine motor skills.
Start off by introducing the tinker tray without any direction or influence. Let your child just explore the materials freely + take note of what materials they gravitate to. Next time, introduce the tinker tray with a new material for an "invitation to play"
The next time you introduce the tinker tray, those same exact materials can be used an entirely different way with an open-ended provocation.
