Use loose parts to spark children's creativity and innovation
Loose
parts are natural or synthetic found, bought, or upcycled materials
that children can move, manipulate, control, and change within their
play. Alluring and captivating, they capture children's curiosity, give
free reign to their imagination, and motivate learning.
The
hundreds of inspiring photographs showcase an array of loose parts in
real early childhood settings. And the overviews of concepts children
can learn when using loose parts provide the foundation for
incorporating loose parts into your teaching to enhance play and empower
children. The possibilities are truly endless.
