THE POWER OF LOOSE PARTS PLAY

Loose Parts is simply a name for stimulating materials that children can manipulate in endless ways. Through this process they learn the foundational principles of how the world works. Loose parts are open ended and reusable in an infinite number of ways. Unlike other educational resources that can sit unused, Nüdel resources allow children to have a different learning experience everyday without losing interest, making it a smart investment over the long term.

It is precisely because of their open-endedness that loose parts engage the highest forms of thinking and interaction such as creativity, problem solving, social skills and emotional intelligence. Loose parts play and Nüdel resources support STEM learning through authentic engagement in real world challenges.

Loose parts are also excellent for psycho-social support for children from traumatised and disadvantaged backgrounds allowing them to express themselves in a safe, open ended and creative environment.
