Quote:
“To me, loose parts aren’t things. It is a way of thinking,
an approach. To me everything and anything can be a loose part, even me for the
children to use how they see fit in their play space. It is about children
using their imagination to create spaces to play using whatever is in their
vicinity, the more choice and variety the better.” (Nathan MacGillivray, Play
Development Worker)
