The children have extended their imaginative play from the block area to loose parts to recreate the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

They have used their imagination creating various beanstalks using a variety of loose parts media such as corks, wooden circles, shells and smaller blocks.

Loose parts can become anything, it  particularly supports our younger children with their schemas such as connecting and transforming. Loose parts are the ideal tools for children developing creative and imaginative thinking skills.

It’s getting big and wobbly”

“I’ve made the castle in the sky”
