Acrylic Snowflakes

'Loose parts' that consist of interesting objects and materials are an essential part of encouraging children to engage in creative play. Removing commercial materials from the classroom and instead introducing children to objects that are full of intrigue will inspire hours of problem solving and innovative thinking! 

While perusing our local dollar store I found these acrylic snowflakes! 



They are beautifully crafted and because they are clear, would be a great addition to our light table! 




I can just imagine the play these might inspire as children sort, stack, and pattern with them!


When we are done with the light table I may include them in our portable water table and see what happens there!
