Evolving perception of materials.
Learning Curve (31).

Abstract
Materials can be important for helping children
learn. The very young child learns in interaction
with and acting on the objects around her. In
the beginning, the senses, motor abilities and
subsequent causal analysis develops through
their observations of the things around and
their behaviour in different circumstances. This
interaction with materials is spontaneous and
directed by the child. The manner of interaction
is decided by her and often their explorations do
not meet with the approval of the adults. There
is a certain obstinacy in their toying around
and extending boundaries of the pre-decided
purposes, expected behaviour patterns and other
such constraints. We have, as adults, played with
children in the games they create in their effort to
explore materials. Even when we bring in objects
for specific purposes and specific motives they find
their own purposes and manner of interaction.
