Recently, I had the pleasure of watching Brayden explore the texture of fingerpaint that had been placed on the table outside. Upon noticing the bright red mass, he approached looking a little cautious, however, after placing his finger into it several times he soon realised there was nothing to fear.
Brayden certainly appeared to be enjoying this experience, as he poked and prodded, and rubbed his hands through the paint, then picking up handfuls and squeezing the mixture through his little fingers.
Through this experience Brayden is developing strategies for actively exploring, and making sense of the world by using his body, including active exploration with all the senses, and the use of tools, materials, and equipment to extend skills. He is also developing a perception that he is capable of acquiring new interests and abilities, not to mention the fun that was had.
