ABSTRACT

I had decided to observe the children outside in the garden and, for a while, I thought it might be a fruitless task, as the children were using things just as they were intended to be used. That is until I saw Colin, aged 2 years, 7 months. Colin went over to the mop

it by the handle away from the door. He pushed it around the garden, quite fast at first, but then slowing to a walk. He stopped, seeing a football on the ground. He picked it up and said ‘In you go, baby’. He then pushed the football in the bucket around the garden.
