The importance of Loose Parts Play
The idea of loose parts play was created by architect Simon Nicholson, who recognised the importance of loose part play. Encouraging children to play with open-ended materials is strongly connected to the development of creativity and critical thinking which is developed and enhanced as your child grows. To see this truth in reality, all we have to do is watch children at play with loose parts.
