Our Favorite Loose Parts
for Building & Imagination

Loose parts are materials that children can move, mix, take apart, and put back together in countless ways. Because they don’t come with instructions, loose parts invite open-ended play, creativity, and problem-solving.

​

In early learning environments, loose parts support imagination, experimentation, and independence. They help children build their own ideas—literally and figuratively. Add these materials to your dramatic play and block play spaces!

​

Below are some of our favorite loose parts, curated with intention for enhancing calm and inspiring early learning environments.

All items are suitable for ages 3+
