The Loose Parts Laboratory is a community resource of creative materials open to everyone!
The Loose Parts Laboratory (LPL) is a space curated with a variety of materials donated to distribute for low or no cost. Vision: The Loose Parts Laboratory aims to provide a growing initiative of increasing materials, patronage and volunteers. As part of this endeavor, in addition to the material offerings, we hope to make the space available to the community for gatherings of parents, senior groups, professional associations as well as professional development for educators.
Loose parts are everyday objects that can be manipulated and transformed through self-guided play. We believe that these materials can enhance and enrich learning, creative expression, problem solving skills, and well being.Materials are gathered and donated by residents and local businesses.
Follow along on Facebook for the most up-to-date information.
LPL is open every Thursday, 4:30 - 7:30 pm or by appointment.
New materials are coming in weekly.
