Loose Part Activity

Loose parts play helps children develop creative and critical thinking skills by encouraging them to use their imagination and experiment with new ideas freely.

Loose parts give children the freedom to arrange and rearrange, essentially using the parts to create their own rules and designs, which allows the focus of the experience to be on the process rather than the product.

Fine motor skills are developed and strengthened when children grasp and pick up small objects.

Naming Objects Activity

I made this activity by crochet the object and sew them in the cardboard. Through object play, children are learning about how the world works through trial and error, and develop their problem-solving skills. They also learn about the shapes, colours, and different objects in their environment. The area I am developing through this activity is to supports children's cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
