Publisher's Synopsis
More and more museums and galleries offer children opportunities to handle, and interact with, objects from their collections. Working with real objects sparks the imagination, helps children to develop their powers of observation and interpret the world around them, and improves concentration, literacy, numeracy and critical investigations skills. Hands On is a step-by-step guide to working with objects and paintings in the classroom and in a museum setting. It demonstrates how to incorporate object-based learning into teaching - and get more out of museum and gallery visits.
