Next up for supporting independent play is a loose parts nature box.
Loose parts are simply pieces of materials that you can find on the ground either in your garden or on your daily walk – fallen leaves, sticks, twigs, stones, shells, seeds, pine cones, feathers to name but a few.
Why not collect some on your next walk or when you are in your garden – you’ll be surprised at what you can find.
Then let the children’s imagination flow as they create fairy homes, dens, bug hotels, stick swords or wands and use them in their imaginative play.
Enjoy your brew as they immerse themselves in their play!
