Description

Looking for Learning: Loose Parts is a full-colour guide to inspire child-led learning. It's linked to current policy and the EYFS framework, making it an ideal resource for Early Years practitioners. Laura England explores how loose parts, such as tinker trays filled with nuts and bolts or pompoms and play dough, can capture a child's imagination and creativity during play. Loose parts are natural or synthetic materials that have no pre-planned use; they can be moved, combined with other resources, lined up, deconstructed and constructed again. This book presents case studies, real-life images and practical pointers to explore their use, including tips for setting up the environment and the adult's role in child-led play. With its tried-and-tested ideas for indoor and outdoor activities, helpful hints and tips, and full-colour photographs, Looking for Learning: Loose Parts is a valuable resource for Early Years practitioners seeking accessible ideas for using loose parts in their settings.
