Loose Parts 2: Inspiring Play with Infants and Toddlers is as beautifully conceived and executed as its popular predecessor. This entry in what we hope will be an ongoing series introduces a variety of new ideas, abundantly accompanied by gorgeous photographs, to inspire safe loose parts play at the infant and toddler level. The loose parts featured on its pages were chosen specifically for children under the age of three. The book is smartly organized according to play-action characteristics (touching, grasping, pushing and pulling, and many others), making it easy to zero in on the needs of a particular child or group of children. The vast educational and developmental benefits of loose parts play are demonstrated through classroom stories and proven science. The clear-cut language and riveting imagery make Loose Parts 2 an instructive, inspirational resource for integrating fun-filled, educationally invaluable activities into the home or classroom.
