It’s Arts Play: Young Children Belonging, Being and Becoming through the Arts introduces educators to the profound role the Arts play in early childhood education (Birth to Year 3).

This third edition is grounded in contemporary research about arts and early childhood education and aligns with the Australian Curriculum: The Arts and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) V2.0. It demonstrates how the EYLF V2.0’s core themes of Belonging, Being and Becoming are naturally and powerfully realised through arts experiences.

This text delivers comprehensive, practical guidance about authentic arts-based learning across dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts for each age group. It clearly describes activity types, their educational value, the educator’s facilitative role, inclusive education strategies and essential resources.

Designed for students pursuing early childhood or primary education qualifications, this text is equally valuable for established educators seeking to enhance their practice.

New to this edition:

Contemporary theoretical information, including updates to align with the recent versions of EYLF (V2.0) and the Australian Curriculum (V9.0).

Margin notes with useful terminology to help you construct a professional vocabulary.

Callouts to the EYLF and Australian Curriculum: The Arts to show you how the content aligns.

Practical ‘sparkers’ with ideas to get you started in the learning environment.

Pause and reflect opportunities based on 19 case study narratives of children’s learning, linking key concepts to real world experience.

Meaningful links to more than 125 children’s books and poems, and a new section showing how to integrate the Arts and English for richer learning.

Voices of First Nations Australians throughout the text, offering valuable perspectives on the experience of learning through the arts.

Guide to pedagogical practices and assessment to support your practice.

Examples of planning documents for observation-based emergent curriculum, curriculum-based purposeful play and Units of Inquiry.
