Snowflakes Loose Parts Collage

What is Loose Parts Play?

Loose Parts Play provides children with a variety of open-ended materials that can be used in many ways. There is no set intent or single method of use. They can be moved, designed, lined-up, combined, or stacked however the child sees fit. This allows for a lot of problem-solving, creative thinking, resourcefulness and flexibility.

​

You will need:

• ​Bamboo skewers pointy ends removed

• Toothpicks

• Round, flat glass stones

• Cotton balls

• Silver and blue craft rhinestones

• Cotton swabs (whole and cut)

• Beads- pearl-like, blue, white and clear

• Blue and white pompoms

• Blue/grey/white construction paper

• (Any other craft items that will suit the purpose)

• Images of snowflakes

​
