The First Day of LOOSE PARTS play with Morning Friends!

I was fortunate to be able to attend the Nature-Based Preschool National Conference in Seattle, WA this summer.  What I learned was the inherent value to a nature-based curriculum.  I took away many ideas for using nature in early childhood education.  Loose parts offer children a way to be creative, communicate, cooperate, think critically and become citizens of a classroom community.  I'm adding lots of photographs here.  I am interested in what people think of natural loose parts.  Each week I hope to add more materials to enhance learning.
