Latest Every Child magazine a creative feast!

The pleasure of being lost in a story. The joy of expressing your world with crayons and butcher’s paper. The fun of dressing up in a costume and being someone else.

No, this isn’t about what adult’s love. It’s about children! And the explosive, extraordinary world of the creative arts: drama, music, dance, visual arts, storytelling, writing, reading – the mediums which, in a child’s life, can foster wonder, play and crucial developmental pathways. These are the issues which the latest Every Child explores – a must have for anyone involved in the care and education of young children

Published by Early Childhood Australia, this quality-assured magazine has:
• Felicity McArdle writing about art as language in early childhood;
• Award winning children’s author Jackie French looking at ways to attract children to reading;
• Julie Dunn exploring literacy-rich dramatic play environments; and
• A very special feature on Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Out of the Box Festival of Early Childhood.

The latest issue also features an interview with Dalcroze-trained music teacher, Paula Melville-Clark, who works extensively with children of all ages developing music and movement programs, and a piece on popular children’s television show Hi-5, looking at how this show aims to ‘encourage each child to develop their own potential and celebrate their individuality.’

Every Child puts the spotlight on the early years of childhood—from birth to eight years. Published in full-colour and beautifully designed, it is informative, diverse, and always entertaining.
