An introduction to loose parts play

Suitable for educators, teachers and parents who would like to see loose play at their child's centre or school.

We’ll explore loose parts play for today’s children. Offering items that have no prescribed purpose supports invention, divergent thinking, problem solving, team work and activates children’s imagination.

In this introduction, we’ll discuss the the benefits of loose parts play as well as the theory and provide some practical tips on:

- how to introduce loose parts to the playground
- who sets up and packs away equipment
- sourcing and storage
- safety rules.
