Thursday July 16th / Beyond Basic Blocks
The number one way to get your kids interested in an activity is: get on the floor too, at least in the beginning, and then let them take over and play by themselves.
Toddler and Preschooler
You need:
Blocks all shapes, sizes, and colors
Imagination is a must!
Toddlers:
Stacking blocks is a major accomplishment.
How many blocks can your toddler stack before they knock it down??
Build them a big tower to smash! (build quick!) lol
Preschooler:
Challenge your preschooler to expand their imagination and dramatic play.
How high of a tower can they build?
Can they build cages for our their animals and call it a zoo? Grab some people and have them visit the zoo.
Can they build a house for their small dolls, include beds, kitchen, house walls, chairs, etc.
Can they build a garage for their match box cars?
Can they build a fire station?
How long can they sit and be engaged with this activity? Preschool years are also about building attention spans.
What else can they think of to build with blocks?
