Loose parts can do far more than sit in baskets. They can behave, respond, surprise, and hint at possibilities that deepen children’s play and thinking. This webinar invites you to rediscover the beauty, possibility, and quiet cleverness of open-ended materials. Together we will explore what makes loose parts feel intelligent and how they awaken curiosity, creativity, and storytelling. Catherine will guide you through intentional ways to curate, organise, and present materials so they genuinely invite wonder while supporting children’s agency and decision making. You will leave feeling inspired and ready to transform your environment into a place where materials offer cues, spark ideas, and help children feel deeply connected to their play.

Expect to walk away with:
• Practical ways to select, organise, and present loose parts so they invite curiosity and confident exploration.
• Fresh strategies for using materials to nurture children’s agency, creativity, and complex thinking.
• Inspiration to create environments where loose parts become active partners in learning and imagination.
