Loose Parts Play

A fun trend in early learning is Loose Parts Play. I’ve been waiting and waiting for Levi to be old enough to be around tiny pieces because I know my boys are going to love it, especially Lewis. I’ve been doing small scale loose parts activities to teach them the style of play. It’s a very different way of thinking, playing, and creating. 

We got this small set out the other day and to my surprise Levi figured it out on his own!

And for the first time Lewis went to town. He made this mandala of sorts. 
Deb and I have been working on putting together a Loose Parts set for the boys for a while now, so o decided to swing by and pick it up even though we haven’t painted it yet. 

Levi started playing right away as we organized our pieces. 





I stopped at the library for a book too. 

I’m excited to see what the boys create!

Elias couldn’t resist. He kept thinking he was done playing and then would start creating again. 

I made a flower that became a monstrance. 






He really liked the people in pots. 

I wonder what else will be created…
