£20.00 (member price £8.00)The theory of loose parts has been around for approximately 50 years. However, it is only in recent years that Early Years' settings have realised the importance of loose parts in stimulating children's curiosity, creativity and imagination and have started to include them within their environment.
The objectives of this course are to teach you all about loose parts and the role loose parts can play in children's environments and consequently children's development. On completion of this course you should be able to implement loose parts into your own setting and understand how important a part they play in child development.
This course will also look at all the benefits of loose parts play including saving money on traditional resources, involving children in collecting loose parts and how it can help to save the environment by 'reducing, reusing and recycling' our waste.
When presented with a shiny new toy at Christmas or on their birthday, children always prefer to play with the box that the toy came in, or the paper it was wrapped in, rather than the toy itself. Therefore, children are much more likely to become engaged in play when loose parts are involved. When children are involved in play, they are more likely to achieve deep levels of learning which leads to development of the brain.
