What is Loose Parts Play?
Loose parts play is a very creative way to support children to lead their own play, be creative, be active, make friends, make bases. make games, challenge yourself, and have heaps of fun.
Brisbane Olympics Inspired: All athletes 'just played' before their played sport. This is how all children learn the foundations of all sports and physical activity. Running, jumping, climbing, throwing, catching, kicking and many more skills are developed through opportunities to play. With the Brisbane Olympics/Paralympics approaching we want to celebrate the role of play in children's lives and how it helps children build the skills and grow into life-long-physically active person. That may one day become a National Athlete and represent Australia at an Olympics/Para Olympics.
