Sometimes the only way to get children to play with certain materials is to allow them to \”knock them down\”. For me, the goal is to get them to interact with the materials first, and worry about what they learn from them later.

I am so glad you wrote this Denise because next week I am going to write about large dominoes and how the play is so different when it is not on a table top and children can use their whole bodies. Look for it next Monday!

Years ago, when I had my own home childcare, I lucked up on a set of large Dora dominoes. Because the dominoes were large pieces, we would place them on the floor to play with. I would help the children stand the dominoes up on the floor and space them one behind the other just right. I would then have the children take turns knocking them down which the children would say \”do it again!\” They really enjoyed watching them fall.
