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 The Heart in the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers.
For ages 2.5 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.
