Mixed-Age Play Invitations

Mixed-Age Play Invitations

Creating Play Invitations in a mixed-age environment might feel daunting. How can you set out materials that all ages can participate in?

Take a peek at this video from YouTube to see one example of how it can be done. Things that stand out about it:

  • A variety of materials from the start: different sizes of cardboard, different materials to incorporate
  • Flexibility! Dot paints weren't in the original materials she set out, but she added them in when the younger child joined in because they are easier for her to use
  • Open-ended: there is no right or wrong way for this to be done, meaning it's naturally more accessible for kids of all ages
