“…Through the messages received from stories, children learn about the culture and the society they live in, but also about other people, their culture and history. Ahn and Filipenko (2007) argue that storytelling and children's narratives affect the way children perceive others and how they perceive the world and their place in it.…”

“…Dowley and McNamee (2005) argue about Paleys' statement that through children's narratives, the adults can reach children's thoughts and concerns. Ahn and Filipenko (2007) argue that storytelling and children's narratives affect the way children form the picture of self and construct an understanding of the world. Opposed to the traditional storytelling, Boltman and Druin (2003) argue that storybooks did not outplay new technologies and that children are eager to engage in technology.…”

“…This challenges traditional approaches to children's art that conceptualise art-making and narrative as expressive of internal constructs that exist prior to the art-making episode (e.g. Malchiodi, 1998;Ahn & Filipenko, 2007Kellman, 1999c.f. Hawkins, 2002;Knight, 2013).…”

“…The theoretical link between narrative and art-making has been strengthened through claims that both practices play a fundamental role in enabling children to communicate their experiences and perceptions of the world, and in doing so, to make sense of themselves and their everyday existence (Ahn & Filipenko, 2007).…”

Digital technologies have material and social properties that have the potential to create new opportunities for children's expressive arts practices. The presence and development of oral narratives in young children's visual art-making on paper has been noted in previous research, but little is known about the narratives children create when they engage in digital art-making. How do young children construct narratives during digital art-making? How do the features of these narratives relate to the social and material properties of the digital resources they are using? How can looking at these narratives inform and enrich our understanding of children's art-making in general? Drawing on a social semiotic perspective, these questions are explored through an in-depth analysis of narrative in three examples of four- to five-year-olds' digital art-making. On the basis of the analysis, features of oral narrative in young children's digital art-making are suggested and these are linked to the potentially influential properties of digital resources. Being aware of these features and properties offers a starting point for thinking about what digital resources can offer in the context of young children's art-making. The findings also prompt us to be aware of the diverse potentials that exist in children's art-making practices regardless of the resources being used.

“…Imaginative Play is a distinct form of play which can be any of the imagination based play types but incorporates symbolic representation within a clear and cohesive original narrative (Ahn & Filipenko, 2007). Within imaginative play, symbolic play is therefore also present and integrated into the narrative of the play.…”

This paper presents findings from The Irish Neighbourhood Play Study; a national, cross-border research project which recorded children's play patterns in Ireland during 2012. The study incorporated 1688 families across 240 communities. Data was established on the play choices of children aged from birth to 14 years. Multiple differentials were explored including socio-economic and geographical environments. This paper focuses on the findings within imaginary play patterns for the full cohort. As such, it presents the play patterns for imaginary play in children aged birth-14 years. The findings are discussed in the context of developmental patterns with particular emphasis on the relationship between imaginary play and the development of creativity.Creativity is a key concept within contemporary education. Its central nexus is problem solving in the face of uncertainty. Within a rapidly changing world, it is a key skill requirement for today's children as they grow towards efficacy within instability. The relationship between the development of creativity and children's engagement with imaginary play practices are explored in this paper.Keywords: The Irish Neighbourhood Play Study, Play, Early Childhood Education, Imaginary Play, Pretend Play, Creativity, Creative Development. THE PROJECT The Irish Neighbourhood Play StudyThe Irish Neighbourhood Play Research Project was a large scale research study which included almost 1700 participant families and 240 communities throughout Ireland. The research study was initiated, shaped and resourced by IT Sligo and Early Childhood Ireland to investigate the play choices made by children aged 0-15 years of age. Parental surveys and naturalistic observation were used to secure data on how children in modern Ireland aged 0-15 are spending their free time. An all-island approach was taken incorporating cities, towns and rural areas across a variety of socio-economic groupings.Of the 1700 participant families, responses from 1688 families were gathered and collated. There was a wide spread of respondents from 18 geographic areas. There was also an even representation from the three socio economic (SE) indicators; affluent (30.5%), middle (35.4%) and disadvantaged (33.9%). 60% of respondents were from suburban houses surrounding large cities, medium sized towns and villages, 21% were from rural houses, 18% were from urban houses and 1% were from urban apartments. Despite the socio-economic spread of communities incorporated, the majority of respondents (61%) identified themselves as middle income earners, while 13% of respondents were unemployed. Just under half of all respondents (49%) had achieved a third level qualification above level 7 (Bachelor's Degree).Of the responses gathered, the gender distribution comprised of 906 boys and 782 girls, all between the age of birth and 15 years. Over two thirds of parents who took part in this study were aged between 35 and 49 years. A further quarter of participants were aged between 25 and 34 years. MethodologyThe aim of th...
