Have you ever hear of Loose Parts Play before?
No?!?! Well me neither. But not to worry, we’re here today with our special guest international keynote speaker, innovator and educator Lukas Ritson from Wearthy to learn all about it and the many benefits.
Respect for nature is the ultimate philosophy of Lukas’s work.
They are experts and pioneers of delivering sustainable and a natural approach to how early childhood education centres operate and deliver educational services and outdoor learning and play opportunities to children.
We ask Lukas questions including:
- Why do you think this is so important that we adopt a culture around sustainability for young children and equally for them to have exposure to it from a young age?
- The idea of integrating sustainability into our daily lives for many is a luxury and one not so much for lower-income households, what tips can you offer to families in this bracket opposed to just the middle to high-income households? Can they offer the same benefits to their children?
- We are hearing a lot about loose parts play lately, can you tell us what is it?
- How do children benefit from loose parts play?
- What is the difference between indoor and outdoor loose parts play?
- Does loose parts play provide open-ended play experiences for kids, if so how?
- Can you define what risky play is and what is the correlation between the two?
- How can parents bring more loose parts play to children’s lives?
