Description:
Register for Outdoor Loose Parts! Spark Creativity, Problem-Solving, Communication, and Self-Confidence With Loose Parts Play - Join natural playscape designer and author Rusty Keeler on a journey of ideas and inspiration, all about the benefits of adding Loose Parts to your outdoor environment to support children’s play and learning! From “beginner to best practice,” Rusty will teach you what the best materials are for Outdoor Loose Parts, where to find them in your own community, and how to manage them—from storage to safety to talking with parents and licensors about the benefits and strategies of using Loose Parts Outside. You’ll see pictures of licensed programs from around the world setting up mud kitchens with loose pots and pans, centers adding natural loose parts like straw bales, sunflowers, and tree cookies, childcare centers incorporating loose lumber and branches for construction and much more! All that plus where to get 100 free tennis balls in your community, how to grow your own Loose Parts, and the best location for a giant hole-digging spot in your own yard. Yeah!
Rusty will also include a “What Would Rusty Say About My Yard” playscape consultation with participants who send him pictures ahead of time. If you are interested in getting playscape advice from Rusty send pictures of your outdoor space to earthplayllc@gmail.com — Rusty will try to get to as many programs as time allow.
