Hello,
I am in the middle of researching for the promoting creativity powerpoint. I am having trouble understanding the difference between open ended materials and loose parts as I need to define both of them. I have found a defintion but it comes up for both of them when I search, I will write it below:
"Open ended materials are items with no directions and can be used by themselves or with other materials. They can be carried, lined up, redesigned, taken apart, moved and put back together in multiple ways. The child determines what materials are used and how to use them"
Loose parts has the same definition that I have been able to find.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you
Melissa
