A mix of hanging out & risky play. And an example of problem solving, found while tidying. Children showed lots of resilience, finding ways to make things stay up, tying knots, climbing. Lots of examples of children trying & trying again, finding new ways & learning new things.

Linguistic challenge puzzling Erasmus+ Loose Parts Play partners! How does 'loose parts play' translate to other languages? If 'loose' doesn't translate well, how do you tie it to Nicholson's theory? Any thoughts? P4PLAY @EastLothianPlay IPA World IPA India @wkrussell

"Someone was going to throw all this out!" Children see the possibilities in loose parts😊 Thank you Zero Waste Dunbar for rescuing and redistributing these resources. These will add to the play at ELPA's Play Ranger sessions and local schools. #ChoosePlay

The block invasion of bug city!🪳🪲 Over many days, play evolved from an argument about blocks resulting in children dividing up resources. Then copying each other & inching closer. Finally a collaborative story, swaps & shares. No intervention needed -space, lots of time & trust

Digital play flowed into loose parts play as the tent became a Minecraft house then the play changed to a camping trip. While playing we see children exploring experiences, negotiating and empathising as they create imaginary worlds together #ChoosePlay #PlayMatters

A bit of risk was added to the playground with #BlockPlay Wallyford Primary Lots of discussion and safety checking went into this balance beam and then a complete redesign. There's even a thoughtful mini version for anyone scared of heights 🥰

The first design of the balance beam, helping younger children, working on a less wobbly version and the mini version. All the Wallyford Primary school values in loose parts play 🙂

Could you be ELPA'S new treasurer or know someone who would be perfect? This will be a hugely rewarding role. ELPA is an award-winning, creative and hard-working charity supporting children, families and services across East Lothian.
