When matter comes to matter – working pedagogically with junk materials

This article focuses on junk materials and how they invite and encourage children to play and construct without the need to name, define or label the constructions. The article also deals with how practitioners’ expectations can disturb this creative and transitory process. The article is based on one aspect of my study entitled “When matter comes to matter: Recycled materials as a pedagogic idea”.
