Testing of materials for the playroom

In the production workshops of Center Rog, products are created from various materials (wood, textiles, paper, clay...) and the remnants of these materials often present opportunities for further use. The mentors in the workshops collect them, and together with the Public Institution Mala ulica, they have designed a materials playroom from various still usable pieces, intended for unstructured play.

In April, we are preparing a trial run for kindergarten groups, and we also want to test the playroom with a group of children aged 2 to 5 years, accompanied by one of the parents or a guardian.

The pedagogical collaborators from Mala ulica will observe how children independently develop play, what attracts them, and how the play evolves with repeated encounters with the materials.

Before visiting the playroom, we will provide parents or guardians with additional information about the program, and after the last visit, they will receive an evaluation questionnaire that will help us in upgrading and developing the program. The goal of the project is to gather observations on the development of unstructured play for a professional article that will be prepared by the pedagogical collaborators from Mala ulica and the inclusion of the materials playroom in the programs of Center Rog.

The program is in the testing phase, so it is free of charge.

Date: Thursday, April 17, between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM

Location: Center Rog, 2nd floor - multipurpose room 2

You are invited to explore materials together!
