Connecting to your community for resources makes a clam environment

When a service connects to their local community to provide resources the play becomes interesting and creates calm.

For example, this service made contact with a local picture framer and gathered their used cardboard cylinders for loose parts play.

Here are the toddlers setting up and playing with the cylinders.

This is the 4 to 5 year old children with their cylinders and wooden slats that are from an old bed.
