Loose Parts Press

Welcome to Loose Parts Press – an independent children’s publishing imprint and a whole lot more.

We work on:

• Creating and selling beautiful books for children
• Helping you with your publishing and design projects
• Developing resources for educators and parents
• Children’s workshops and events

“Loose Parts” is a play theory used mainly by early educators that essentially involves providing children with open-ended materials – bits and bobs like buttons, stones, wooden blocks, pom poms – to play and explore with as a way to stimulate creativity. (You can read more about the theory and practice here)

“Loose Parts” is also a good way to describe the various projects we all juggle – professionally, artistically and in the community. A whole bunch of random things, though all with a thorough line – creativity.
