So I had planned to use magnet blocks at a table with no extras. I wanted the children to use their imaginations to create buildings and towers. Over at a the next table we had a few puzzles out, one with people dressed up as various city workers. All it took was one child to bring one puzzle piece over and suddenly we had all the children wanting to have people at the magnet table. So I got them to put the puzzle pieces back where they belonged and took out some Little People city figures and they had the best time! When we follow the play lead of the children, we are using emergent curriculum to its fullest extent. And it doubles the lifetime of a setup, especially when it's their idea!
