Blocks and small manipulatives (like peg boards and tinker-toys) are open-ended materials that can stimulate a child's desire to explore and make new discoveries using their imaginations.
Building helps develop hand-eye coordination, visual perception, and small motor skills.
Creativity and dramatic play happen naturally when children are involved in block play. Eva made her connecting tubes into something useful.
"I made a telephone and I'm calling my mommy."
By building with blocks, children can learn about balance and gravity.
They develop their problem-solving skills.
"I have lollipops all for sale."
"What color lollipop do you want today?"
