- **Event Name**: Kit Boxes: Nurturing and Supporting Child Curiosity, Exploration, and Investigation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Oct, 2025 at 09:30 am – Sat, 25 Oct, 2025 at 01:30 pm
- **Event Description**: $40

This hands-on workshop aims to engage educators in a deepened understanding on how themed kit boxes can be used as invitations to play. You’ll learn how to provide children with developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive materials and manipulatives that encourage them to explore, use their imaginations, and to inquire.

There will be opportunity for educators to investigate a range of kit boxes and to reflect on 'how' they would use them as provocations, or as support to existing themes constructed by children's developing interests.

Participants will finally create their own structured mini kit box using a range of loose parts, felt items, and other open-ended materials that will be made available to them. This workshop will require participants to make a choice on one of three themed kit box ideas.
