A beautiful example of loose parts used in arts. How might #looseparts be used to support language? Mathematics? Science? Social studies? Music? PE? Well-being? Other curriculum areas? A playful webinar tomorrow if you would like to join: eventbrite.co.uk/e/unleashin… @Letsgetplayful

Sicart (2014) proposes that playfulness is “the capacity to use play beyond the context of play.” How might loose parts be used playfully, beyond the context of play, to support learning in different curriculum areas? #looseparts #play #playful #learning @Letsgetplayful

If this isn't a "why" for using loose parts, we don't know what is! What's your "why" behind loose parts?
