Have you seen how creative we can be through Loose Parts Play?<\/p>\n

We know that children are creative and innovative and Loose Parts Play can provide opportunities for them to explore, design, plan and build in multiple open-ended ways.<\/p>\n

The materials used can be both natural and synthetic and can be moved, rotated, stacked, sorted, combined, taken apart and re-assembled without a prescribed plan.<\/p>\n

It provides opportunities for children to explore their own creativity, innovation, problem solving and critical thinking.\u00a0 It promotes independent learning and opportunities to represent learning in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n

Have a look at what we\u2019ve been doing so far and come in and join us during Stay, Learn and Play in January to develop your own creativity!<\/p>\n
