Donate Loose Parts
In addition to more traditional classroom items, children work with a range of natural resources and unusual and interesting recycled materials, which stimulate exploration, imagination and creativity. An important role of these resources is to pose questions leading to investigation and discovery, rather than to suggest restricted activities. The interaction between the environment, children and the resources they use is regarded as an important ‘relationship’ within the Reggio philosophy.
We are seeking help from the community to collect a wide variety of natural and recycled materials, including:
-driftwood
-buttons
-stones / pebbles
-string
-shells
-yarn
-cones
-baskets
-wood scraps
-wire
-beads
-leaves (different sizes, colors, shapes)
-fabric
-seed pods
-metal discs or similar
-feathers
-lids
-flower petals
-ribbons
-acorns
-wooden bowls
-nails, screws and bolts
-containers: preferably transparent or white
-small mirrors
