Interesting to hear about how you found out about it! It really is just a simple thing after all - if we approach the issue with a light heart, the children will invariably get involved without much more encouragement. So, whether you strew a particular activity or a particular object, children will use their natural curiosity to scan the room, clock what you are doing and then discover for themselves. I had a few good comments about trying to strew when the house is a mess - DON'T! children get confused when there is too much going on. Me too. Thanks for writing about your approach to strewing.
