Loose parts play
At BestStart Kawaha Point our tamariki use their creativity, imagination, and real life experiences to create their play and ideas. These are some examples how loose play is incorporated in to the everyday play of our tamariki.
Tamariki use the bamboo halves to create tracks for their play with the balls so they can experience how their thinking and ideas are put to use, the great part about loose parts they can be applied and used for what the children want them to be used for as this extends onto becoming a race track for cars and trucks for another child.
The cable reels allowed this young tamaiti through her imagination to create her waka for her to sail away in.
Plumbers piping allowed this young boy to discover cause and effect when he rolled his pinecone through the pipe.
So much fun, creativity, discovery, thinking and ideas happen when tamariki expereince loose parts, which is a popular part of our learning environment here at BestStart Kawaha Point.
