Day Fifteen

Loose parts are a great way to invite learning into your classroom environment.  So let’s talk about how we can add loose parts for inviting learning in your classroom environment.
​
Simon Nicholson believed that we are all creative and that “loose parts” in an environment will empower our creativity.
Loose parts will provide children with opportunities to…
  • Inspiring Imagination
  • Inviting Creativity
  • Chance to Think
  • Develop Mathematical Thinking
  • Constructive Engineering
  • Problem Solving
  • Provide them with ways to learn in their own unique ways.
  • Leads to exploration naturally.

Loose parts are materials that can be…
  • Moved
  • Carried
  • Combined
  • Lined Up
  • Taken Apart
  • Put back Together
  • Tinkered With
  • Manipulated

​The beautiful thing about loose parts is that they can be turned into anything.  A wood round can be a plate or a drum set, pine cone can be a tree or vegetables and match box can be turned into a dolls bed.  The possibilities are endless.

When environments are rich in loose parts children can manipulate their own environment, take risks which will lead to a decline in unwanted behaviors.

When children interact with loose parts, they entered a world of “what if” that promotes the type of thinking that leads to problem solving.​
-Lisa Daly and Miriam Beloglovsky  from Loose Parts Inspiring Play in Young Children ​
​
​Task:
Think about your learning centers and where you would like to use loose parts.  Make a list of the loose parts that you would like to add to that area and pass out that list to co-workers and parents.

Teaching is a hobby and it will make a great impact on us. An impact that will make a new era. A generation that will make a new move to our world and it will make our lives more worth living for. I want to know the proper things that are needed to be explained to the children. I love the idea of this post and I will determine the proper actions to the children.
