Yet when valued as natural endowments, they might intelligently be used to increase a child''s perceptive abilities and self-confidence, essential to learning. These three qualities combine in \u003cem\u003edynamic play\u003c\/em\u003e, a term devised by the author to describe an approach to learning. Through physical participation, children deal with concepts, ideas, and emotions while they reach out to touch a vast world of people, animals, nature, and activities. The chapters provide for improvisations in music, visual art, drama and stories in addition to topics related to the changing seasons, sports, school subjects, travel, games, a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eDynamic Play and Creative Movement\u003c\/i\u003e is timely, enlivening, and creative.
