Loose parts in sensory play offer numerous benefits for children's development:
1. **Creativity and Imagination**: They encourage open-ended play, allowing children to use their imagination to transform objects in various ways.
2. **Problem Solving**: They promote critical thinking as children figure out how to use the materials in different ways and solve challenges they encounter.
3. **Fine Motor Skills**: Handling and manipulating small objects helps develop fine motor skills, essential for tasks like writing, drawing, and buttoning clothes.
4. **Sensory Exploration**: Different textures, shapes, and materials provide a rich sensory experience, stimulating touch, sight, and sometimes even smell and sound.
5. **Social Interaction**: Loose parts can be used collaboratively, fostering cooperation, communication, and negotiation skills when children play together.
6. **Language Development**: Children often engage in conversation about what they're doing with the materials, which supports language development and expands their vocabulary.
7. **Mathematical Concepts**: Sorting, counting, and arranging loose parts can introduce basic mathematical concepts like numbers, shapes, and patterns.
8. **Risk Assessment**: Children learn to assess risk and make judgments about the materials they're using, promoting a sense of responsibility.
9. **Sensory Regulation**: Engaging with various textures and materials can help some children regulate their sensory systems, which is especially beneficial for those with sensory processing challenges.
10. **Independence and Confidence**: The autonomy to choose and manipulate materials builds confidence and a sense of independence in children.
11. **Longer Engagement**: Loose parts often lead to more extended periods of play compared to toys with predefined purposes, as they offer endless possibilities for exploration and creativity.
Overall, incorporating loose parts into sensory play environments supports holistic child development and encourages a love for exploration and learning.
Let customers speak for us
Love that these can be used for all kinds of monster activities, yeti in the winter, monsters inc, Halloween play of course! They’re great to match and count a number of eyes or teeth or can be used as characters or name letters etc! They’re a great size as well!
AW & Co has quickly become one of our favorite educational resources for young children. Their tools are beautifully designed, thoughtfully created, and truly engaging without being overwhelming. I love that the materials encourage curiosity, hands-on learning, and independent exploration—perfect for early childhood development.
As a mom of young kids, I really appreciate how AW & Co balances education with play. The activities feel intentional yet fun, and my children stay engaged far longer than with most learning tools we’ve tried. Everything feels high-quality, durable, and clearly made with families in mind.
If you’re looking for educational tools that support learning while still honoring childhood, creativity, and play, AW & Co is a wonderful investment. Highly recommend for parents, homeschoolers, and early learners alike.
Everything is amazing (as usual)!

Amazing quality and products. I have placed multiple orders and continue to add to my daycares loose part collection with their felt items. I have started purchasing the dry erase items for my infant and toddler room as they are easy to clean. I can’t wait to see what I purchase next.
AWandCo is my go-to shop for these types of items. I feel like I am always asking for custom changes, which have always been accomodated. This tray is beautiful, sturdy and my little one loves it to trace and bring with us where ever we go. I also purchased the traceable name acyrlic insert and it has peaked my daughter’s interest in learning her name.
We have had so much fun planting gardens and gathering crops with this filler! We have spent time talking about planting/harvest seasons and why we plant certain times of the year etc. I highly recommend the filler for all kinds of veggie fun! The children have learned so much by planting and harvesting.
A big one but I think it’ll be great for sensory play and also serving snacks. I’m picturing using it for my LO’s next birthday too.
Perfect - my dino obsessed little one will love this.
Really beautiful. I can’t wait to use this for easter but also other sensory play with mixes and playdough. Love the waves. And everything is so smooth.
