Embrace the joy of discovery and creativity provided by Loose Parts Play. Loose parts is a wonderful term coined by architect Simon Nicholson. Nicholson believed that we are all creative and that “loose parts” in an environment will empower our creativity. Many play experts and early childhood educators adapted the theory of loose parts.
Children are invited to explore, experiment, and construct using an assortment of natural materials. From leaves and twigs to stones and shells, every element serves as a catalyst for boundless ingenuity. Whether building forts, crafting sculptures, or inventing whimsical contraptions, every participant becomes an architect of their own nature adventure.
