It's Not Garbage - Creative Play Resources

CREATIVE PLAY 🤗
When I volunteered at an Op shop, I salvaged a lot of plastic for sand toys or water play - customers with pets also found gems in this collection.
Still.. too much goes to landfill!
I’ve raided workspaces at Makerspace Adelaide for the sawdust to give my plastic a new life, which is much more fun!

This is a memory from 8 years ago
A reminder to provide craft books, preferably from op shops, with your loose parts, when one just needs a little inspiration 😅

On Friday night I attended the opening of LOL Atelier (Little Orange Light), at the Mawson Lakes Centre, Mawson Lakes SA
There were many highlights but the learning on display from Lantana kindergarten was pretty special. They are so lucky to be close to the Wetlands
Attached is a follow up for all of us to experience the wetlands, not to mention the lovely cafe on site - enjoy!

Some very exciting news to follow
Congratulations Outside the Box Learning!

I’m excited to share that I’m leading the T2D STEM Futures program through Outside the Box Learning.

This project has grown from the seed of an idea...a belief that the major infrastructure being built around our schools could become a living classroom. That tunnels, bridges, engineering and design were the perfect fit for playful learning in primary schools.

I'll be sharing a lot of loose parts play...the remnants of children's thinking. What sits behind this is problem solving. Collaboration. Innovation. Resilience. Testing ideas. Rebuilding. Trying again.

STEM Futures opens up possibility. It invites students to understand the world taking shape around them and connects them with some of the cleverest minds working on this project.

And sometimes… it looks like a wombat crossing a bridge.

WOOD! A beautiful resource 💚
I had to stop scrolling my favourite wood photos!
I aim to always have wood offcuts in store and welcome enquiries, orders and deliveries regarding any of the items in display
