Loose part games or loose parts are activities carried out using various objects to be combined to build something new and creative. But let’s see in detail. LOOSE PART GAMES: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE FOR

What are loose part games?

The loose part theory was born from an intuition of Simon Nicholson, architect and designer, observing how recycled materials became loose parts of a game.

It is about using all the elements available in an environment as a stimulus to create, invent and discover . Loose part games are therefore what we could define a creative evolution of traditional constructions, interlocking or not, since boys and girls, and adults are involved in a much freer creative process in the composition of the loose parts available. to create something new.

The game is technically defined as “open ended”, therefore with an open ending and not a predefined one . We leave and we do not know the point of arrival. Creativity in its maximum expression then 🙂

In addition to creativity, loose part play stimulates in boys and girls:

• ability to explore the materials with which it comes into contact with all the senses;
• aesthetic ability to see what can be created;
• concentration on the creative project;
• mathematical skills in the management of elements.

• Rainbow rounded shapes . Blocks of rounded shapes that can be stacked and manipulated like puzzle pieces to create motion pictures and designs. When they are placed in the box, however, they must follow a precise sequence to form a series of concentric circles.
• Rainbow plates . In 6 different sizes, perfect for making colorful streets, dominoes, labyrinths, towers, arches for castles and magical worlds. This set comes in a wooden box to keep it tidy when not in use, but which can also function as a base or frame for building.
