It contains 6 ladybugs 40mmø, 6 slug 52 mm long, 6 ants 44 mm long 

This Insects family allows children to create stories and Mini Worlds. There are no instructions or rules. The elements do not have a completely defined shape, and this allows the pieces to be converted into what children need to generate by their own game and adventure proposal. 

This material allows for the development of logical-mathematical thinking and motor skills. The use of the tongs is a good resource to improve concentration and to control fine motor skills. This versatile material will promote a broad variety of proposals like the symbolic game.

The theory of “loose parts” was first proposed by architect Simon Nicholson in the 1970's. Nicholson believed that it is the 'loose parts' in our environment that will empower our creativity. In a play, loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. They are materials with no specific set of directions that can be used alone or combined with other materials. Loose parts can be natural or synthetic. Having "loose parts" available in a play space allows children to use these materials as they choose.

Often you will find that children would rather play with materials that they can use and adapt as they please, rather than toys that have a single purpose. Encouraging children to use resources as they choose can provide a wider range of opportunities than one that is purely adult led. When children play with loose parts are using creativity and imagination and developing skill and competence.
