Loose Pieces 1 – Inspiring Play in Children (15€)

Os materiais de fim aberto (Loose Parts) são materiais naturais ou sintéticos encontrados, comprados ou reciclados – bolotas, ferragens, pedras, folha de alumínio, restos de tecido, por exemplo – que as crianças podem mover, manipular, controlar e alterar durante a brincadeira. As peças soltas são atraentes e bonitas, capturam a curiosidade das crianças, dão asas à sua imaginação e encorajam a criatividade. Com mais de 550 fotografias a cores de vários tipos de peças soltas em cenários reais da primeira infância, relatos de jardim de infância e uma visão geral dinâmica, as peças soltas fornecem inspiração e informações sobre as maneiras como os materiais do dia-a-dia podem apoiar a aprendizagem, capacitar as crianças e permitir possibilidades infinitas de brincar.
