Play Learning
Aids
"It is believed that
children grow through play so when they are stopped they become
sick." - Lucy Tatti, July 12, 1993

Primary Objective:
Play is a crucial developmental part of
the Dene child's development, and is essential to the
acquisition of language. Through play, children find
friendship, learn leadership skills, and develop
mentally, physically, creatively and spiritually. Play
is considered an important process for a child in need
of healing. Learning how to make traditional toys is one
way to learn about the past, and to gain knowledge and
skills which can be passed to the next generation.
Students will learn that traditional learning aids were
often models of the real thing, such as smaller versions
of bows and arrows and other tools, and they will need
to learn to exercise safe handling of these types of
toys. |
