Blocks can be to represent size. They come in almost every shape available and are three dimensional; such as squares, triangles, ramps, planks, tubes, columns, arches, rectangles, cubes, spheres, half circles. By using blocks, children are actively and physically creating what they see in their minds, using spatial relationships, balance, weight, height, form of measurement, sorting, fractions Is excelent fir kids building with blocks is so much more fun than use paper.

Children are able to take turns to each put a block on the growing tower before it falls down and everyone cheers. Blocks are play at its finest. Play is the best method of learning and experiencing social and emotional development. Block play allows the seamless integration of social and emotional development and cognitive development every time.”

This statement expresses the true sense of the Block/Construction area. The back and forth conversation between the children is vital to their social development. They learn to use words that express their design, their expectations, their delight with the outcome being being a new creation or the squeals of joy when their tower tumbles.
