Loose Parts Play
Many educators are aware of loose parts and have incorporated them into their program, but how much do we understand about loose parts theory?

-Understand how loose parts can promote discovery, exploration, investigation and problem solving through opportunities for inquiry based learning
-Translate the theory into practice to promote children’s active involvement in their learning
-Reflect on the use of learning environments to support the use of Loose Parts
