Loose Parts Play

Loose parts are open-ended pieces children can sort, stack, count, pattern and add to any story. Choose Grapat mandalas, bowls and sticks, Tickit wooden treasures and heuristic play sets, gem trays, translucent shapes, mirror blocks and sensory steel balls, and the Tender Leaf My Forest Floor set.

There is no right way to play with loose parts, which is why they suit so many ages and work so well in continuous provision at nursery. Most sets contain small pieces, so check the age guidance on each product.
