Loose Parts: Inspiring Play in Young Children (Loose Parts Series) Review: STEAM learning with guidance and a child-centered environment - Loose Parts is similar to a Reggio based learning approach and is not only a collection of useful materials, but the setting up of provocations or setting the stage for the classroom to be a third teacher. The environment and loose parts help teach as they draw the children in who will want to know what is going on. The children are presented with some loose parts, a story or staging, and work to construct solutions to the presented problem. They engage in higher level thinking, creativity, and the discovery of multiple possible solutions. The actual materials or loose parts may be reconfigured for use in new provocations, sorted, save, and reorganized for other problem solving activities. It is STEAM (STEAM means Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) learning! STEM is like STEAM without art, but art elements are included in this book. Review: Loved the photos to help with the idea - I have wanted to move this direction in my center for years and this book has helped everyone get the idea. The picture are great and the explanation or the whole concept has helped the teacher see how this is a wonderful concept. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #84,066 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Curricula (Books) #117 in Early Childhood Education #450 in Instruction Methods | | Book 1 of 4 | Loose Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (453) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.75 x 11 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1605542741 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1605542744 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | October 28, 2014 | | Publisher | Redleaf Press | ## Images ![Loose Parts: Inspiring Play in Young Children (Loose Parts Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xX0SKuBGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STEAM learning with guidance and a child-centered environment *by C***M on May 2, 2016* Loose Parts is similar to a Reggio based learning approach and is not only a collection of useful materials, but the setting up of provocations or setting the stage for the classroom to be a third teacher.

The picture are great and the explanation or the whole concept has helped the teacher see how this is a wonderful concept. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic and Easy Read for Educators and Parents *by R***A on September 15, 2021* I had the honor of taking several classes by Lisa Daly and finally got my hands on her book. She is a wonder for the field and I can feel her throughout. The book is full of child development knowledge bits and how engaging loose parts can be. The pictures are absolutely inspiring and beautiful. I have also found it easy to read as my daughter plays at my feet, but she often loves reading it as much as I do because of all the pictures! Highly recommend for anyone interested in deepening children's play. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7925197-loose-parts-inspiring-play-in-young-children-loose-parts-series](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7925197-loose-parts-inspiring-play-in-young-children-loose-parts-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
