The AssignmentReview what each of these age groups seeks developmentally. From there, you will synthesize the information about indoor environments, including the perspective that outdoor environments are an extension of the indoor environment, to discuss opportunities in the outdoor environment for mobile and non-mobile infants, toddlers, and twos.  For example, in the lecture, you learned that non-mobile infants watch and listen to the world around them. One thing a teacher can do is to seek out opportunities for children to watch whirligigs spinning or hear a wind chime ringing as the wind blows.
