Blocks.....

We are sooooo into blocks right now. All the kiddos love to build and create their own little fortresses....I added bristle blocks and they were building ships and trucks for the little people (they fit perfectly inside the little squares) and this week I added the race track...or ramps....and some soft blocks. Sometimes I laugh at the fact that we spend a good deal of time on this blue rug building, and sometimes it gets soooo crowded, but they all adjust and are learning everyday how to get along and deal with disapointments (as in someone knocking down your tower!!)

Learning: spacial awareness....eye hand coordination...cooperation....patience....how to use our words....different ways of getting what we want....how high our body can build and figuring out what to do if we want to make it way taller than we are....

Trains and ramps.....and walls....and hills....and gravity.... Hey!!! Yours is almost as tall as mine!.....mine is taller than yours.....yours is all squiggly....I have been to classes where they say the girls play with dolls and the boys play with blocks...not here...we all play with everything. The girls love to build and the boys love to cook and play with baby dolls. It's very well rounded!I love little people!!......Even the babies are trying to figure out what fits and what doesn't.....AND...they are playing togethere, sort of :)))
