Some of the best toys are everyday objects you have at home. These objects are called loose parts and they can be used in any way! Socks, pillows, and containers are some examples. Children can explore the shapes and textures of loose parts, learn their functions (i.e. containers open and close), play pretend, and build structures.
Since loose parts can be played with in any way, children will use their imagination to explore all the different ways they can manipulate the objects. This will benefit their problem solving skills, creative thinking, muscle skills, and more. Plus, children don't grow out of loose parts - the way they play and explore the objects changes as their skills and interests develop, but the toys stay the same! Swipe ➡️ for some examples of loose parts to add to your child's play.

Loose parts pictured above: socks, pillows, lids, plastic containers, kitchen supplies (a whisk, wooden spoon, spatula, rolling pin, scoop), and cans of food.
