Enabling Environments.
As part of our school development plan this year one focus was on "enabling environments" for our children. One aspect of this was the introduction and enhancement of loose part play in our environment. This is very much an area that you as parents can build on at home,using everyday bits and bobs!
I have added a link that very much follows what we have been striving to create in our setting.The article very much shows the benefits of "loose parts" using opened ended everyday resources that maximize your childs learning experiences at home.
Have a go, you will be surprised at how much interest children have in the very ordinary tinker trinkets and treasures you have lying around!
and search for getting to grips with loose part play
