The children get so creative with them and we have discussions of what we see in everyone’s creations.

I work with 2 year old and we have just cubed blocks. I will definitely request different shaped blocks to allow students to use their imagination!

The kids, even the older ones, enjoy building with the different blocks provided. Fun to watch their little minds at work!

The children in my classroom usually use pattern blocks to make the same shape as their friend. from reading the article I think I will spend more instructional time on these blocks.

We also have big and little dominos to play with that they can stack or make patterns with or just find matches with the number of dots on the domino.

We have always used the month of September for students to freely explore these materials every morning upon arrival and again at Free Choice Time before we use them for more formal instructional purposes. Pattern Blocks provide valuable learning experiences for the young child that cannot be replicated through a boxed or online curriculum.
