The Fabric Of Play

The fabric of play is a sensory play experience, where kids get to be active and creative with handcrafted loose parts made with repurposed materials.

Benefits:

Gross motor skills and being physically active
Invitations to imaginative play and creativity
Development of social and emotional skills as they play alongside others
Greater awareness of waste minimisation by using repurposed materials

Suitable for ages 18 month to 7 years old. But any age can enjoy these fun creations and activate their imagination!

I have been on a learning journey of my own over the last couple of years through my work as a play coach with Junky Monkeys. Giving children a rich open ended play environment has been a great joy and learning about the importance of learning through play. I have been inspired by a number of ideas and people I have seen online who have made wonderful sensory play environments from fabric and it seems the perfect mix for my love of sewing and creating play.

These photos were taken at the first outing of The Fabric Of Play. We were at a community event in Mt Eden. My fabric creations mixed so well with Junky Monkeys. It was a hugely successful day and one I hope we can repeat soon.

I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for a while. I thought, wouldn't it be great to have a custom made big play house frame as part of my setup. It would be the perfect place to hang all my fun fabric creations. The hard part was designing it so it can pack down to fit in my car.
