How Do Children Coorperate Through Their Play?

Today in the Maple Room Brennen, Aira, Dekyn, and Tommy chose to play with floor toys. The children worked together to build a road. After completing the road the children used the magnetic train cars, and Legos to build vehicles. The children interacted as they played together on the road they constructed.

  Brennen spent a long time playing with the trains. He drove his train on both the road puzzle pieces and the train tracks. Brennen drove his train down the road and noticed Aira driving her train. "Go ahead!" Brennen said to Aira. Brennen stopped his train and let Aira's train drive on the road. 

Aira spent her time playing with the animals and trains. She put the animals into the train cars she played with. Dekyn brought his train over and the children began to add animals to Dekyn's train cars. 
"Chicken goes in this!" -Dekyn
"I have a lot of animals!"- Aira 
"I put the sheep right here!"- Dekyn 
 
  
As Brennen continued to drive his train around he noticed that Dekyn was missing a car off of his train. Brennen picked up the train car and attached the car to the end of Dekyn's train.
"I fixed it!" -Brennen 
 
Tommy drove his dinosaur that he created out of Legos around the road. Brennen noticed Tommy driving his dinosaur and asked, "Whats that?" Tommy replied, "Dino Truck!" Brennen commented, "Wow!" Brennen saw a Lego piece on the carpet and asked Tommy, "Look you want this?" He handed Tommy the piece and Tommy said, "Oh thanks!"
