Workshop | Endless Fun With Loose Materials

Do you want children to create their own play environment even more? With simple materials that you can find everywhere? Then immerse yourself in the magic of ‘loose parts play’.

Imagine… stones become dinosaur eggs, pipes become marble runs, branches become spoons for the witches’ soup! ‘Loose parts play’ – playing with loose materials – makes children the architects of their own play environment and puts them in charge of their own play. Discover the power of open-ended materials that children fill in, collect, move and discover themselves.
