Loose parts is the label given to any collection of natural or man-made materials that can be used to expand upon children’s play. Loose parts have no specific function or goal. They can be moved, arranged, designed, taken apart and more. According to architect Simon Nicholson (1971), who coined the term loose parts, loose parts give an opportunity to children to express creativity through use of materials that can be manipulated, transformed, and created through self-guided play. This type of active, indoor and outdoor free play allows children to lead their own inquiry, show
creativity, and demonstrate understanding of various cognitive, social, and emotional skills. This resource is an introduction of how to include loose parts play in early learning classrooms.
