Science recently published a research-based article about how a preschool program called Tools of the Mind, which focuses on dramatic play and peer-to-peer learning, may improve children's "executive function" skills.
The latest issue of Brain, Child features a debate on the question, "Is there a such thing as too many toys?"
I was fortunate to have my book Into the Minds of Babes reviewed favorably in The Wall Street Journal last week.
And USA Weekend's cover story on Sunday was titled "A New Era in Play."
All good fodder for thinking critically about what playtime means for today's children, which happens to be the subject of the Sandbox Summit on January 7-10 in Las Vegas. Let me know if you'll be there too.
