It’s Arts Play: Young Children Belonging, Being and Becoming through the Arts will introduce you to Arts education in early childhood, highlighting the range of ways the Arts can impact education and development. It incorporates the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which offers a holistic concept of children’s learning and is framed around core themes of Belonging, Being and Becoming.

The second edition of this Australian textbook provides well-focused, comprehensive and sound practical guidance for authentic play-based practice across the five subjects identified as part of the Arts in the Australian Curriculum: dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts.

This textbook is a valuable resource for students in all stages of early childhood or primary education study, as well as for early childhood educators.
