Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the availability of construction materials affect children's constructions and play. Observations were made when the children were allowed to play and build with very little and much of the material play-doh dough in preschool. The study is aimed at children aged 3 – 5 years. Interviews were also conducted with educators in departments where the children spent time to give support to this study. The result shows that the children create as many designs of any material amount. At smaller amount of the same material of construction results show that children vary more among different games. === Syftet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka och jämföra hur tillgången till konstruktionsmaterial påverkar barns konstruktioner och lek i förskolan. Undersökningen riktar sig mot barn i åldrarna 3 – 5 år. Observationer gjordes när barnen fick leka och konstruera med tillgång till mycket och lite av materialet play- doh deg. Även intervjuer gjordes med pedagoger på avdelningarna där barnen vistades för att ge stöd i arbetet. Resultatet visar att barnen skapar lika många konstruktioner oavsett materialmängd. Vid mindre mängd av samma konstruktionsmaterial visar resultatet att barnen skiftar mer mellan olika lekar.
