Today we received a wonderful gift from the lady who was really our Reggio mentor and massive inspiration in Singapore. It's called Loose Parts - Inspiring Play in Young Children. It is not only wonderful because it conveys its message predominantly in photos, but because the authors create a really useful framework for loose parts play with many mini case studies, interpreting and categorising children's intentions when they play with loose parts.
Here is their framework:
Senses
ColourTexture
Sound
Creativity
ArtDesign
Symbolic Play
Action
Transporting
Connecting/ Disconnecting
Inquiry
ConstructionInvestigation
Correlation
