Young Children's Play and Creativity

Overview

You will learn about how children express their ideas and interests through play and consider how children participate and are included in play and creative experiences. You will explore how children express their preferences through their play choices and the significance of creative spaces in following their interests.

Support from your tutor

You will have a tutor who will help you with the Young Children's Play and Creativity module at The Open University UK material and who will provide you with advice and guidance. Your tutor will also mark and comment on your assignments. If you are new to the OU, your tutor can provide additional support with your study skills.

We aim to provide face-to-face tutorials in a range of locations students can travel to, though we cannot guarantee availability close to where you live. Online alternatives may also be provided, and recordings of these will typically be made available to students.

Student numbers on the module, and where tutors are based, will affect the locations of where tutorials are held, and what online alternatives are provided. We cannot guarantee that face-to-face tutorials will be hosted in specific locations, or locations that have been used previously. While you’re not obliged to attend any of these tutorial events, you are strongly encouraged to take part.
