At the beginning of the year, the children tend to mostly interact in parallel play. That means that they often choose the same materials, but they actually utilize the materials alone without collaboration. One reason is that three year olds are just learning how to play collaboratively, but another reason is that they simply don't know each other yet. It takes a long time to make a friend. Now that they've had a couple of months together Mrs. Magee and I are starting to see more duos and trios at play. So delightful!
