Tabletop Loose Parts - Creative Activity For Kids - No Time For Flash Cards

If you aren’t familiar with the idea of loose parts it’s the idea that giving kids groups of loose parts ( branches, logs, rocks etc..) they can create their outdoor play space instead of being limited by the playground designer’s imagination . I absolutely adore this and at our church playground that doubles as a […]

Balls & large tubes in block center creates STEM learning for Pre-K & Kindergarten (via marvelously-made preschool)

Large tubes & balls

How awesome is this to add natural wood, sticks, leafs and gather things in our natural setting and add to our block center. I wonder if my children would build more, enjoy the block center more and imagine more if I did this to the block center?

Recycling Milk Containers

I hate throwing away plastic containers as there are so many ways to recycle them. Here are a few ways to recycle plastic milk containers. Really, the possibilities are endless and it is great for children to think of ways to recycle in all aspects of their lives. MILK CARTON POT PLANTS After putting drainage holes in the base of the container, the children drew decorations on the sides of the milk carton with permanent markers. They then added potting mix and their seeds. MILK CARTON…

Block Building Challenge

I have several photos of various buildings and bridges hanging low down in my block center. I really have not ever seen the children pay much attention to these photos as inspiration for their building, so I tried a new method. For a week, I took the photos off the wall and placed them on the floor next to large hula hoops. I then explained that there was a challenge in the block area. I challenged them to build the structure pictured inside the hoop. We usually leave buildings the children…

10 SIMPLE IDEAS TO ENHANCE BLOCK PLAY

Playing with ….. Loose Parts

Inspired by the hand-made felt food I saw in the diner at Madison Children’s Museum, I suggested to my friend Nina who has a family day care with her sister that we make some felt food for their brood’s dramatic play. Nina thought for a moment and politely shook her head. The children, she said, enjoyed such rich play with a changing assortment of objects used for food: pine cones, stones, bottle caps, and knobs. She wouldn’t want them to lose that. The felt food I’d seen was so appealing it…
