Open-Ended Thoughts

Engineering in preschool doesn’t require robots or coding kits—it starts with hands-on, build-it-yourself play. This post explores how tools like Superspace empower young learners to develop real engineering thinking through trial-and-error, spatial problem-solving, and big-body collaboration.

If dramatic play has ever been the first thing you cut when the day gets busy… you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: dramatic play isn’t fluff. It’s one of the richest, most cognitively engaging things happening in your classroom—when we let it be. Research shows that the way kids engage in play, especially dramatic play, can drive language development, self-regulation, empathy, and real academic growth.

Open-ended play sparks creativity, problem-solving, and social skills, making learning deeper and more meaningful in classrooms and therapy.
