Invitations, Provocations, & Sensory-Rich Experiences

Invitations, Provocations, & Sensory-Rich Experiences
 
Many early childhood environments rely on constant novelty to drive engagement. New setups, new themes, new materials.
 
But learning deepens through open-ended materials, hands-on sensory-rich experiences, repetition, and realistic expectations, not constant change.
 
In this webinar, we’ll explore invitations and provocations as a materials system, built around fewer, carefully chosen materials that invite touch, movement, and investigation and can be revisited in multiple ways over time.
 
We’ll address:
• Open-ended vs. closed-ended materials and why the difference matters
• The role of hands-on, sensory-rich play in supporting regulation, engagement, and learning
• How repetition deepens exploration and understanding
• Why fewer materials often lead to richer play
• How to choose materials based on age and development
• What realistic engagement actually looks like
• Why elaborate setups don’t guarantee deeper learning
 
This session is designed to bring clarity and confidence back to planning by simplifying materials, experiences, and expectations while supporting meaningful, embodied learning.
