0	Ignores or declines and never plays with toys
	Child ignores or declines the invitation to play and never plays with the toys during Phase 3.
1	Ignores or declines but does play with toys without E
	Child ignores or declines the invitation and never accepts E and toys. But, child manages to get a toy or two to play with while shutting the E out. This child either moves toys over near mom and turns back on or face away from E, or this child corrals some toys to play with while sitting closer to E but otherwise ignoring and shutting E out.
2	Eventually plays with E & toys
	Child initially ignores or declines the invitation to play, but then eventually plays with the toys in a way that includes acceptance of the E before the end of Phase 3. To get this score, the child must not seem to be shutting the E out. Playing with the toys must seem like an acceptance of the E and her toys, though it takes a while.
3	Plays with E & toys
	Child accepts the invitation, but approaches slowly or cautiously. Once playing the child shows acceptance of E and the toys on a higher level than a “2”. This means the child does not seem to be avoiding looking at the E, although the child may still seem slightly unsure of E.
4	Accepts and plays immediately
	Child nonverbally or verbally accepts the invitation to play and plays immediately (e.g., helps get toys out, plays with first toy put out). This child plays with the toys, but does not actively try to get the E to play with him/her. This can be scored if the child’s response is delayed due to their needing to complete some task that they were already doing when the play invitation was made, but once involved the child acts like a “4”.
5	Accepts and plays immediately; Engages E
	Child accepts and plays immediately, focusing not only on the toys, but actively attempts to engage the E in the toy play. When E does not respond, the child may become unsure and begin acting like a 4.
6	Accepts and plays immediately; Needs E
	Child accepts and plays immediately, actively tries to get E to play, and when E responds minimally, child keeps up and intensifies his/her bids.
