BOOKISH PLAY WITH TICKIT WOODEN TREASURES

We love using books in our play and there are many stories that can be easily included in the play with loose parts. The possibilities of play with loose parts are endless and through manipulating and play children develop their imaginations and creative thinking. Children will love watching you recreating a story using just loose parts or acting it our themselves.

Here are our ten books and activities you can try at home:

  1. “Tisha and the Blossom”

Spring is just around the corner, try creating flowers and blossom using your favourite colours. Look outside the window and go on a blossom hunt to recreate the flowers you’ve seen outdoors.

  1. “Story Path”

This is another great open ended book that encourages creating your own story. You can easily create a story path with loose parts adding more elements on the way.

Use the story path to retell stories, but also play games with a dice.

  1. “Colours”

We love sorting activities. The rainbow wooden bowls are a nice addition to use with the loose parts. You can discuss colours together and spy more objects around you in a colour of your choice.
