Choose ONLY ONE of the following to write about: 1. Go to your local public library. Ask librarians for help in finding 5 books that are suitable for infants and toddlers. The children’s section may not be divided into this category, so you may have to look through books on your own. A few suggestions for infant/toddler books are Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown; The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carl (or anything by Eric Carl); Any of the “Maisy” books by Lucy Cousins. Once you’ve obtained and read the books, evaluate them. Are they suitable for infants/toddlers? Are they made from durable material? Are they action-oriented? What types of illustrations are used? What makes a good infant/toddler book? 2. Early childhood is a time of rapidly developing motor skills. Preschool bodies become more streamlined, and children have an improved ability to balance. Running, jumping, hopping, and skipping become common activities. Coordination improves and children can throw and catch balls, ride and steer tricycles, and play on playground equipment. For this journal option, visit a playground at a neighborhood park, preschool, or child-care center, and select several children between 2 and 6 years of age for observations. Take notes of desсrіptions of activities and movements, paying special attention to differences between younger and older children. Write up your observations.
