Playful Learning, interview and givaway - CLOSED

When I picked up Mariah Bruehl's new book, Playful learning I found myself nodding with agreement with so much of it. The book is so much more than a 'how to' book and is filled with great ideas and amusing anecdotes, Mariah writes in an honest and no nonsense type of way, you feel like she has written the book while you are sitting with her having a chat over coffee.


Playful Learning is split into seven subject areas, nurturing young authors, the joy of reading, mathematicians at work, scientific investigations, exploration of art and growing globally and there are 58 learning experiences to share with your children. Not only that Mariah has covered everything from tips on how to be prepared ahead of time, to book and website recommendations and a set a printables in the back of the book. Although the book is marked from four to eight year olds I think you can learn much from it when you still have younger children.

I got the chance to ask Mariah a few questions about the book and her child rearing experiences...


How old are your children now? How do you think that the playful learning foundation that you have already given them will help them in the future?

My daughters are now seven and eight years old. I feel that engaging in playful learning experiences with them over the years has helped them to develop lifelong habits of heart and mind. Although learning facts and developing specific skills are very important, a positive disposition towards learning and the desire to take on intellectual and creative challenges are characteristics that will serve children throughout their lives. The work I do with my girls and all of students in my courses focuses on developing passion and teaching children how to effectively express themselves and their understanding of the world. Children’s voices can be very powerful and as adults we can learn a lot from them when we take the time to listen.

When I was reading through the book, I noticed a lot of parallels to the Montessori philosophy, are you heavily influenced by any one educational philosophy? Why?

Maria Montessori is one of my primary influences. When I discovered her work I could not get enough of her ideas and read every one of her books that I could get my hands on. What struck me most about her philosophy was her view on the potential of children. She felt that the world had not yet seen the true potential that children hold and that with the right environment they could thrive in ways we have not witnessed before.

Later in my career I discovered the work of the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The Reggio Emilia philosophy holds the same view of children and has the most innovative approach to curriculum development and implementation I have ever seen. Both Reggio Emilia and Montessori also emphasize the important role that the environment plays in education, which is another one of my passions as both an educator and parent.

While I have many inspirational influences, I have learned over the years that there is no “one size fits all” solution to education. Both parents and teachers need to start with the child in front of them and find the approach that best suits his or her needs at that particular moment.

So far, I have had it fairly easy with my son, he basically taught himself to read in English and Japanese and he is going through a writing spurt at the moment but not all children share the same love of books and written work, although I think how it is presented can make a big difference to the outcome. What advice do you have for parents of children who are reluctant readers/writers?

Good question! In my view a parent’s interaction with their child, when it comes to engaging in playful learning experiences, should be light and joyful. I believe that most learning (especially in the younger years) should feel like play to children. So rather than believe that a child simply does “not like” reading or writing, I recommend trying to find a different playful way to introduce the concept or skill by building it into their current interests.

One lesson that I had to learn when it came to reading with my oldest daughter was that I had to get off of my “high horse” when it came to the books she was selecting. I kept trying to encourage her to read some of my favorite “classics” and she had no interest in my recommendations or in reading independently for pleasure. Once I let go of my own preferences and started helping her find books that related to her current interests (even if they were all about princesses) she started to enjoy reading on her own. The important lesson that I learned is that you have to meet your child where he or she is at and work hard to meld your goals and their desires. Parents know their children better than anyone and if given the right tools, are perfectly poised to capture their child’s interests and passions and create meaningful learning experiences.

All the teachers that I know are super organized, they need to be and in your book you have the 'one step ahead' tips can you tell us more about this idea?

It is important for us as parents to realize that we do not need to be experts in any given topic to engage in learning with our children. A great teacher once told me that in order to start teaching young children a new topic, we simply need to be a few children’s books ahead of our students. This is what I refer to as the “one-step-ahead” parent. 

Literally, I really do mean that parents simply need to be just one step ahead of any learning experience. I have been known to read a book aloud on a topic on the way to a museum or while at the beach—talk about one step ahead! Yet that little bit of preparation makes the difference between an experience and a learning experience. 

I must also admit that the girls have taken on spontaneous interests in topics that I know nothing about. During these times, I encourage their curiosity and may even generate a few questions myself (which is great for modeling the scientific method). Later, the process of fact finding and researching the answers to our questions becomes the experience itself. These moments allow me to model using books and other resources to find specific information, and to demonstrate first hand that learning truly is a lifelong endeavor. 

For each activity listed in the book, I include a section called “One Step Ahead” to provide parents with facts, thoughts or preparations that will help them to take that one step, which makes for a more meaningful shared experience.

Which is yours and which are your children's favorite projects from the book?

I mention in my interview with Maureen at Spell Outloud that the learning experience I feel has had the most profound impact on our family is on put-ups and put-downs

Your question prompted me to ask the girls what their favorite experience was from the book, and after flipping through the pages again together, they both agreed that alphabet photography was one their favorites. I think the reason that they both hold such fond memories of this experience is that it explored the right concept at the right time for them. Children feel an intrinsic need to master specific developmental milestones at different stages of their development. Teachers and parents can learn a lot by observing the way children interact with different materials and activities. If a child remains engaged and focused on an activity for a long period of time and wants to repeat it over and over again, it is a positive sign that it is a good developmental fit for them. Understanding these milestones can help both parents and teachers plan projects that speak to this internal drive that every child has. It is for this reason that I provide a developmental overview for each subject that I cover in the book.

Just so we know you are as human as the rest of us, is there a project or idea that you came up with to use with your children that turned out to be a disaster one way or another?

I am so glad that you asked that question!  I must say that many of my project ideas have not gone over well (or at all) with my daughters. Writing the book took a lot of trial and error and only the activities that I had success with made it into the book. There were many complete failures that did not make the cut!

My advice to parents is to let go of pre-determined expectations that you might have about the outcome of any given project. Be open to your child’s interpretation of the activity and if they want to take it in a different direction, follow her or his lead. I found this very hard to do in the beginning because I had an end product in mind. Yet, children are radars for manipulation and the moment I tried to “direct” a project in a certain direction my daughters would instantly lose interest.

The good news is that the more your children feel listened to, the more open they become to your suggestions. Over time we have developed a mutual respect that is now the foundation for the experiences we share.  Do my projects still flop at times? Yes! But, we have come a long way.

  3. Jo.....I LOVE this book! It is amazing! I would love to win a spot in her e course!!!!! It would so amazing! The best learning moments with my kids have been when I followed their lead! Bunny fell in love with a book about a cupcake girl and we used her love of it to write a story, bake cupcakes, and learn about fractions! It was really a great time! We all had fun!

  4. This book sounds like it would be just right for our family- excited to see it and thanks for sharing! A favorite learning experience I've shared with my children was color mixing lessons through finger painting- messy, creative, and educational, always guaranteed to be a good time!

  5. This book (& e-course) sounds amazing! I've been learning a lot about playing & my kids lately and one thing I've learned is just to let them explore, pretend and figure out things on their own. My girls have amazing imaginations and I've learned recently that the best way to nurture it is to just let their imaginations run wild!

  6. The best learning experience thus far with my children has been watching a very large (6" wingspan) Robin moth leave it's cocoon, spread its wings, then find a mate all on our kids picnic table. Unbelievable.

  7. This book will definitely go on my wish list! My little is still young and what is fun for her is anything that will get her mommy or daddy's undivided, engaged attention while doing something she enjoys :) Sometimes in this hurried world, that can be hard to do.

  8. Oh my gosh, two things that have very much been on my wish list! Fingers crossed!!!

  9. I totally agree on what she said about getting off of your "high horse" about selecting books and such. I would love Manon to read the "French classic" and she loves Babar for ex but she has her own mind about what she wants to read. The thing that we enjoy the most in our family is cooking. She can cut almost anything (even a rabbit;) and enjoys baking and cooking so much.

  11. My favourite memory of childhood is of the stories my dad would tell me at bedtime about a little bushman in the Kalahari Desert - I got to know that character so well that I started to tell the stories too - perhaps a reason why I love literature so much today! I have carried on the tradition with my sons!

  12. Most recent fun learning experience: introducing the red & blue rods to a child. It wasn't the lesson that stands out, but the look in his eyes when he realized he could put two rods together to measure how tall he was (his idea). We measured a few friends that day :)

  13. The book sounds fantastic!

    Recently I introduced "pouring" to my son with beans and since then he has started "pouring" water in the shower from container to container with such delight. He also loves to pour water into the garden with a small {or sometimes large, too big for him to carry almost!} watering can. He made some mistakes which he corrected himself the first couple of tries with the beans but soon learnt how to have more control

    A childhood memory is of telling my parents at about 3 that I could read- of course they didn`t believe me when I receited some favourite books to them so they bought me some new books only to realize I could in fact read. My father ALWAYS read to me while pointing to each word {his reading/spelling was not great and he only has sight in one eye so it helped him focus} from birth and it seems that is how I learnt. I try to do the same with my boys!

  14. One of my favorite things I've done with my now 5 1/2 year old daughter has been writing books, in which she dictates the story and then illustrates my writing. I take a few sheets of card stock and stitch it into a book using my sewing machine. We get such a kick out of reading the older ones...a beautiful memory of what she was loving throughout the months of her life!

  15. Best memory/memories for me were from reading or being read to as a kid, a lot. And now I'm so happy to provide my son with lots of fun storybooks and whatever non-fiction books my 3 year-old-son seems interested in, from the library. Right now, he's into astronauts, the planets, the weather, and firefighters.

    Thank you! I love our blog.

  16. My best learning experience was at my grand mom's knitting machine. I learned numbers, colors, distance, weight, maths with great fun. Hope the book or the e-course help me to find fun ways to learn together with my two small babies.

  18. This sounds like so much fun! I have done a lot of memorable activities with my 2 DSs. We've made playdough together, started a garden, made johnnycake with "Grams", made floral arrangements from neigbourhood weeds, M&M maths (which we couldn't complete due to disappearing materials!) and the ultimate "nasty lesson" - G's words not mine - VOLCANO! With all the family turmoil this year, I'm glad I still have *some* of the digital photos, because the evidence has long gone. The garden died a long time ago, but the pics are still so cute!

    Would love to learn more about Playful Learning, thanks for the opportunity!

  19. I can't wait to read this book! I have three boys ages 13, 10 and 4. My oldest son is a very hands-on learner. He does his best learning when he is engaged in the real world, so we go on lots of field trips.

  20. I love your blog and follow it already via email. I also am so excited to be entered to win this book. I love Montessori principles, but my son loves play-based learning. Sounds like this book will help me better synthesize the two. It sounds great!

    as for playful elarning experiences - we have them daily. Some are athttp://traininghappyhearts.blogspot.com/search/label/Play

    Yesterday, we just had some impromptu fun watching electric folks get wires back up on houses and then promptly came home to gt toy trucks, fallen branches, yarn and boxes to play ourselves, learning more about electricity and safety

    Thanks for the chance to win the book and for all the wonderufl sharing you do.

  21. I love all of Mariah's ideas and would even love a copy of all the "failures" that didn't make the book! ;o)
    We set up a craft desk for our kids, in the living room so they are still in the 'family centre'. The desk is neatly organized and contains just enough to spark the creativity without overwhelming them with too many choices. They use it every day!

  24. A favorite childhood memory of learning was being taken to Ash Fall fossil beds when I was about 10 or 11. In the midwest where I live, it is an open excavation where archaeologists have uncovered animals like prehistoric rhinos, etc. that we'd think of as normally living somewhere else, like Africa! Because for YEARS I wanted to be an archaeologist, it was one of the coolest things ever, and I still remember it very well!

  30. Sorry I forgot to post the experience! We recently studied about dolphins and then went on a cruise and got to swim with them, touch them, and see them up close. It was so great, and the kids already knew so much about them and were able to really connect all the dots!

  31. I have been so loving this book and if I won another, I would give it to my sister, who is opening a daycare and wants a copy of this! But I'd want to keep the ecourse spot for myself... I am so interested in designing beautiful, functional learning spaces!

    I have some Montessori books on hold at the library and am looking forward to digging in.

  32. Funny, I can't easily recall any fun learning experiences I had as a child - perhaps my single mom was pretty overwhelmed with four kids. : ) I've really enjoyed watching my two year old make connections between what she's exposed to in books vs. what's in the real world. I'm truly surprised at the leaps she makes sometimes. jennifersedna@gmail.com

  34. Books often spark some great learning expeiences. One of the best was when reading "Little Nose - the Hero", there was a story in it where little nose was watching some men ceremonially painting a cave. This led to us creating a cave structure under the table from brown paper, making our own paint (cround charcoal and egg, pig blood from the butcher etc.) beth recreating existing cave paintings and making our own modern interpretations of cave paintings.

  41. What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to put her ideas into action in our home.

    A few weeks ago, my mother gave my son a shark puppet that was mine when I was little. It has inspired a ravenous search for all shark information. Reading books about a subject and then watching my son engage in imaginative play involving what he learned, it is truly some of the most fun I've had.

I'm very good at playing scales but not so good at actual selections - wonder why??!! Great interview - I like the questions you asked. Thanks for sharing the giveaway.

  47. I would love to win this book! I remember as a child I had a wonderful teacher who made the classroom as interesting as possible. We had chess boards around the room which we could play with if we finished a lesson early, received "money" if we completed various tasks which we could then use to "buy" things at the "shop" and times tables was a fun game!

  49. One of my favorite middle sounds activities is a nonsense words game I call the sound machine -- we take a word like "back pack" and listen to how it would sound with different vowels: "beck peck", "bick pick", "bock pock", "buck puck" -- be sure to stay one step of precocious boys on this one, though -- they will give you words like "bat" and "pass" because they want to hear the potty words!

My children are both at a Montessori school, which is all about playful learning, and my 7yo daughter loves to conduct experiments at home that she's been shown at school. At the moment we have an egg sitting in a jar of white vinegar. I have found it fascinating to watch the vinegar transform the egg shell - my daughter assures me that after a few more days of this the shell will become like leather - I can't wait to feel it :)

  56. This book has piqued my interest because I feel that preschool and kindergarten have become too academic. Learning is and should be fun! For the last year, my 5, now 6yo daughter has been making "books" by stapling printer paper together in the middle. She can't read yet, but she makes up the story, illustrates and I help with the spelling. It is a lot of fun and she is now more interested in reading since she has been writing her own stories.

  58. This book is at the top of my wish list! I am a mom to two beautiful boys and a Montessori teacher. My life is filled with fun learning moments, for me and the little people around me.
    For me, sharing my love of sewing with my own boys or the children in my class brings me joy. We have made blankets and snugglies (stuffed animals) at home. At school the children love to practice the different stitches on a sewing machine or make simple projects like pillows.

  61. The Playful Learning book and the course both sound fantastic! One activity that my daughters love is to play grocery store.

Sometimes we use coupons too. It makes math fun.

  67. My favorite learning-related memory from the time I was 12 YO. We were learning about different art techniques and we had to choose one and make a project - I've chosen to make something that will look like stained glass, but instead of a glass I used napkins in different colors and one drawing of Sarah Kay as "pattern". I loved it, but apparently my teacher did as well, since she took it to her home :(

  70. When I was a kid my mum bought us a toy printing press. There was a set of rubber letters that we could put together into a set of holders to make up words and phrases to print. We used that thing all the time, and had lots of fun learning to write while printing up our own newspapers and flyers. Wish they still made that toy these days. Such fun!

  73. I really cant remember any experiences with my mum. But with my little girl, the thing that gives me the most joy is doing some thing and seeing her copy, such as when we have bath time ther is colourful stickers of animals on the side of the batha nd I would point to them and say their name and colour. Jasmine is 10 months old and now when we get in the bath points to them individually and waits to hear me repeat their name and colour, taking in what I'm saying. I cant wait to hear her say it and tell me what they are. rachael chorlton lewis (FB) rachael0-8@hotmail.co.uk rachaellewis81 (twitter)
