An invitation to play is a concept from the Reggio approach to Early Childhood Education.
Invitations to play promote discovery, exploration + experimentation, problem-solving, creativity + independence..
Invitations to play are open-ended with fixed-outcome or right or wrong way to play.
Materials are presented in an engaging way that can inspire play without directing.
Common materials for an invitation are loose parts, toys, household objects or art/sensory materials.
