What better way to learn than from the creator of Talking and Thinking Floorbooks® herself?

Are You Planning for Children or Around Them?

You spend Sunday evening planning activities for the week, but when Monday morning comes round the children couldn't care less about your plans because they're fascinated by a spider they found. Sound familiar?

Most practitioners get trapped in adult-driven planning cycles that completely ignore what children are actually thinking.

The result? Planning feels meaningless and documentation becomes a chore.

What if your planning stopped treating them like empty vessels and actually captured their voices?

What to Expect

For Beginners: A welcoming introduction to the foundations of Thinking and Talking Floorbooks™, including key tools like PLODS™ and TALKING TUBS™

For Experienced Users: Deeper insights into collaborative documentation, strengthening the child's voice and connection to the natural world.

For Everyone: Real examples, practical tools, and a fresh approach to documentation that values curiosity, thinking, and shared inquiry.

Whether you're new to Floorbooks® or looking to deepen your existing practice, you'll gain clarity, practical tools and confidence to document learning in ways that truly honor children's voices—through the method now explicitly referenced in EYLF V2.0.
