Research proven, scaleable high quality early childhood development programs using frugal methodology and local, low cost materials.
Playground Ideas teaches communities to use recycled and low cost materials to create loose parts play kits for children in emergencies.
Hi there, thanks for that feedback. My apologies, I didn't realise that it needed to be for a US context. I'll have a read through the toolkit. Regards, Joanna
Thanks so much for this comment Siobhan. It's definitely a valid point and one we'll think about further going forward. Previously, we have kept loose parts materials locked up in a box or cupboard, but the idea that materials are scarce and seen as more beneficial for other purposes is also a valid one. We've found that there are certain materials that are always discarded and can be recycled such as plastic bottles that can be filled with stones and used as rattles for small children. But we'll discuss your thoughts more with our team and get further feedback. Thanks again!
