💖 Loose Parts for Babies - with Stephanie Bennett
📅 Friday 19th June @ 7-8pm
Loose Parts for Babies: Sensory Exploration and Active Learning
Babies learn with their whole bodies. Through touch, movement, taste, sound, and sight, they are constantly investigating the world around them. Yet too often, environments for babies are filled with passive toys that do little to honour their natural drive to explore.
Join Stephanie Bennett, Co-Founder of The Curiosity Approach®, for this gentle and informative live presentation focused on loose parts for babies and how thoughtful, stage-appropriate materials can support deep sensory exploration and active learning from the very beginning.
This session invites educators to slow down, observe closely, and see the world through the baby’s eyes.
In this live presentation, educators will explore:
💖 What looseparts are and why they are so powerful in early learning
💖 Understanding babies’ learning through Piaget’s sensory-motor stage
💖 How babies experience objects differently from adults investigating through:
💖 Touch
💖 Mouthing
💖 Movement
💖 Repetition
💖 Why babies need active learning, not passive entertainment
Practical strategies educators will take away:
✔ How to select stage-appropriate loose parts for babies
✔ What materials are suitable, engaging, and developmentally supportive
✔ Creating calm, inviting spaces that allow uninterrupted exploration
✔ Observing rather than directing babies’ play
✔ Offering time, space, and freedom to explore at their own pace
This webinar is ideal for educators and leaders who want to:
✨ Deepen their understanding of babies’ learning and development
✨ Move away from overstimulation and passive toys
✨ Create respectful, sensory-rich environments for infants
✨ Trust babies as capable, active learners
Babies are not waiting to be taught.
They are already learning.
When we offer time, space, and meaningful materials, we honour their intelligence.
