I love using blocks. There are so many different ways to use blocks in learning and the children love playing with them

In reply to Siri. Oh Siri, how sad! I agree. We have so many types of blocks, but nothing beats a wooden unit block. Keep your eyes peeled for childcare centers that are closing (sadly, way too many are struggling more now than ever) or even public school sales in your area. They are worth every dime. I'd share with all your co-workers and parents that you are looking for wooden unit blocks. They truly are the best. Great teachers who are retiring would love to pass them on to another teacher who gives their students time to PLAY! Good luck!

I miss the creativity that happens with a good set of wooden blocks. My current classroom has foam blocks and they just don’t have the stability that comes from the solidness of the wood. Towers never balance as well, things get knocked over easily as someone walks by and that leads to frustration among my builders.

Blocks are fun and the kids love them! It’s a good way for kids to learn and us math at the same time.

I love that you can use the blocks to teach math and other things in so many ways. and since kids love blocks they then can use them to understand and develop a number sense.

I have used blocks so much for Math projects, cardboard, wooden, legos. It can fill up a whole morning. A group project broke out when 3 students brought toys with wheels one day. It moved from the carpet track to a ramp built with every block at their disposal. It was going well until “Godzilla” arrived to take out the town. Lesson over.
