EDC-5570: Thinking Outside the Box

Thinking Outside the Box (and inside too!) Four hundred years ago, the Chinese invented cardboard and two hundred years later the first commercial cardboard boxes were produced. Since then, children have had one of the best toys ever created. Added to National Toy Hall of Fame in 2005, such recognition is well deserved. A box can be anything a child wants it to be in her/his imagination. It can be a place to hide, a place to feel secure, etc. In this course, we’ll explore boxes big and small - found boxes and boxes we’ll make. We’ll consider how boxes can be used to help children learn science principles, look at cultures, express themselves through writing and art and much more while experiencing how much fun they are as playthings.
