    I am looking for more on play residue .. any suggestions for articles or books or other podcasts that discuss/delve into the residue of play whether indirectly or directly.

    Thanks !

      Hey Thea,

      Short answer: no, I don’t know of any other resource. I have half a dozen note cards attached by magnets to my To Do wall with post ideas relating to the topic, but haven’t got around to writing them.

      I love the topic–we can chat about it here if you like. 🙂

        I have started a project with a forest school and nature preschool documenting (photographing) play residue. The plan is to use the photos to peel back the layers of what is often viewed as the “mess” of play, and look at theories of play to illustrate the importance of free play to children’s whole development. Right now I am rereading founding theories of play and delving deeper into play schemas. I would love to know your thoughts.

        Your project sounds amazing! I’d love to see your photos and think it would be great if we could collaborate on some posts for the HQ site on the topic and/or maybe do a podcast episode or two based on what you discover. I think Mess too often turns into a moral issue (messy=BAD /tidy=GOOD). It also generates so many battles and so much friction in early learning classrooms (“we’re not setting foot outside until this room is CLEAN!”).

        It may take a few months but I will definitely keep you updated. I completely agree about “mess.” One of the reasons I chose the two programs is that 1) the children completely direct their own play 2) the children are not required to clean up their play. I am hoping to use the project to open up some discussion on these points as well.

        I’m excited to see how this turns out!
