Having taught kindergarten for 30 years, I’ve seen the beauty and magic of loose parts play. Sadly, that extended time of interrupted play is interrupted all day with the forever transitioning schedule filled with programmed curriculum. I’m excited to have a young grandson that I can create a rich and engaging environment for, both indoors and out. Thank you for continuing to inspire us with such deep and authentic learning ideas.

Great idea! There is gross motor work, fine motor work, math, science and lots of rich language. Can’t wait to try out this idea.

It is wonderful how much math you can have outside for children. There is so math in the sandbox, riding the bikes, (how many times around, how long does it take you to go around. How many scoops to fill your dumptruck? Which bucket holds more?

My favorite materials to use are found items suchas rocks, sticks, stones, caps, etc because they are inexpensive, versatile, and can be used for so many different activities!

This is really a great idea about outdoor play, you can use many tools like rocks and other nature things as you teach math.

I love this! It combines Math with Science. It\’s very open-ended and allows opportunities for individual learning experiences
