Mandala Loose Parts is similar to a Reggio-based learning approach and is not only a collection of useful materials but the setting up of provocations or setting the stage for the classroom to be a third teacher. The environment and Mandala loose parts help teach as they draw the children in who will want to know what is going on. The children are presented with some Mandala loose parts, a story or staging, and work to construct solutions to the presented problem. They engage in higher-level thinking, creativity, and the discovery of multiple possible solutions. The materials or loose parts may be reconfigured for new provocations, sorted, saved, and reorganized for other problem-solving activities. It is STEAM learning!

Mandala Loose parts play provides children of all ages and stages with an enabling environment full of interesting objects that support curiosity, creativity, imagination, and invention. With no prescribed method of play, children can assign their purpose and meaning to the objects they are playing with allowing them to explore, create and imagine in all the senses of those words.

When children interact with loose parts, they enter a world of “what if” that promotes the type of thinking that leads to problem-solving and theoretical reasoning. Loose parts enhance children’s ability to think imaginatively and see solutions, and they bring a sense of adventure and excitement to children’s play.

Loose parts play is open-ended, it spurs the development of lots of different skills: creative thinking, communication, exploration, critical thinking, self-confidence, and independence, just to name a few. Kids are naturally drawn to objects that encourage open-ended play.

While Blodgett encourages loose parts to play to be child-directed, she also offers some prompts for parents looking to take the play further.
