Explore the amazing world of loose parts inspired by children's stories with Alyson Pell from The Sunflower School. This month's program will take inspiration from When the Sky Glows by Nell Cross Beckerman. 

For ages 18 months to 6 years with a parent/caregiver. This is a drop-in program.

Loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. Loose parts' theory is about remembering that the best play comes from things that allow children to play in many different ways.
