What’s the buzz about “loose parts?” Loose parts by any other name
are…well…stuff, or junk, or random things lying around your house and yard.

creativity and …fun. We’ll share ideas about why they’re important, where to
collect them, how to use them, and observation strategies to maximize their
power in your setting.
