Use photographs or books as inspiration for block play
What You Need:
- Photographs or books of bridges and towers
- Large cardboard tubes (e.g., cores from butcher paper rolls, paper towel rolls)
- Wood pieces (e.g., tree cookies)
- Unit blocks
- Plastic animals, people, or transportation vehicles
What To Do:
- Look through photographs or books of local landmarks, bridges, and towers with your child. Talk about the location and the shapes that make up the building.
- Have her choose a picture that she likes and place the picture within eye level and encourage her to use the blocks, tubes, and wood pieces to recreate it.
- Talk about the shapes, textures, and height of what she creates, encouraging her efforts. For example, “Look at how tall your building is! I see that you used four blocks on top of each other. I see that you used rectangles for the base and small triangles for the roof.”
- Have her expand her creation by incorporating animals, people, or vehicles and encourage her to tell you about her creation.
