Nature Inspired Loose Parts 🌿🌊❄️

There’s something magical about open-ended play inspired by the natural world. 🌿🌊❄️

This nature-themed loose parts collection offers children a chance to create and imagine across three beautiful landscapes - woodland, ocean, and polar. One moment they’re building a forest path with pine cones and stepping stones, the next they’re diving into swirling waves and shell-covered shores, or exploring icy lands filled with towering icebergs and drifting snow.

These thoughtfully designed pieces invite storytelling, collaboration, and a deep connection to nature - all through play.

Transient Art is an opportunity for children to explore, manipulate and freely create their ideas, telling their own stories.

You can use an empty frame or if your feeling really creative you can make cardboard frames ☺️
Adding an assortment of loose parts.

Here, we’ve used our 10-Frame Tray and Rustic Bowls they are perfect for displaying loose parts such as glass gems and ocean figurines.

There’s something so grounding about nature-inspired play—watching children trace the wings, sort by colour, or quietly match each one as they imagine life in the garden. Slow, mindful moments like these remind us how powerful simple play can be.

🦀🐚 Searching the sands for hidden treasures… What a magical sensory invitation from @findingcreativejoy! 🐚 🌊

With sparkling sand play dough and hidden seashore stones, this setup brings all the wonder of the beach right to your play space. Children can dig, discover, and press each treasure into the dough, revealing the delicate textures of shells, seaweed, and shoreline creatures like jellyfish and starfish.

This kind of hands-on exploration is a wonderful way to spark conversations about marine life and natural habitats — all while engaging fine motor skills and sensory curiosity.

We love how our @yellow_door_education seashore stones made such striking impressions in the sparkly @hippiehooray dough - a perfect blend of learning and play.

🌟 Happy National Numeracy Day! 🌟

Today we celebrate the everyday magic of numbers — from simple counting to solving real-life problems, numeracy is a vital skill that helps us make sense of the world.

To mark the occasion, we’re bringing learning to life with the Natural Counting Log — a beautifully simple and tactile way to explore numbers. 🌿✨

Children use this wooden log, with its evenly spaced holes, to count out sticks from a pile — physically placing the correct number in each hole. This hands-on activity helps children see and feel the value of numbers, building a solid foundation for understanding cardinality (knowing that the last number counted tells you how many there are).

📚 Why we love it:
•Encourages independent, active learning
•Strengthens fine motor skills
•Makes abstract number concepts concrete and meaningful
•Invites connection with nature and play
