Open-Ended Exploration Planner for Infant and Toddler Science

Use this open-ended planner to prepare a hands-on exploration around children’s interests, then document what they try, repeat, combine, and change. The page includes spaces for the set-up, invitation and materials, a safety and materials checklist, adult prompts, and observation and response notes. Use it when setting up science and sensory play for infants and toddlers, or when reflecting on how to extend their discoveries. The goal is discovery, not a matching product.
