Today the children have been very creative in the Discovery room. They have used loose parts in many different ways.
After discovering their own reflections in the mirror they decided to use some loose parts to recreate their features using the different pieces.
“
“that’s my face, I can use these stones for my eyes and this small one for my nose”
The children used the loose parts to sort and match by colour and practice their counting skills.
”blue like your eyes”
We counted together… “1,2,3,4,5”
Loose parts are a great way for children to use their imagination and learn in lots of different ways. They are able to arrange and rearrange, sort, match and create their own images focusing on the process instead of the end product.
