playwork level 3, unit 3-10, play prefrences?
 

Hello.

I know this might sound really silly...

This is what I need to do:

// Explain the following terms, giving examples for each:
• Loose parts 2.d
• Play space 2.e
• Play frame 2.f
• Play preferences 2.g

... I've managed the first 3 quite well but not sure how to word the play preferences thing.
I think I'm over thinking it, but have no handouts on it where as the other 3 were quite easy to refer back to my handouts and I also feel I know about those already.

Is a play preference simple a childs preferred type of play or person/resource to play with? No idea how to word it or if I'm even right!

Many thanks in advance for any help xOo yeah
