So, what does your child learn from blocks?
Motor Skills:
Block play is all about eye-hand coordination and visual perception. Want to
take it up a notch? Stack soft blocks or cushions as high as your preschooler
can jump over them. Make an obstacle course or maze with blocks, and then knock
a ping pong ball along the course with a golf club or clean fly swatter.
Math:
You can pattern blocks by shape or color. Blocks can be used as units of
measure. It’s easy to see how a 6-block-high tower is taller than a
4-block-high one.
Science:
You can demonstrate levers and inclined planes with blocks. One of our favorite
science experiments involved making different types of block buildings on a
movable table and then creating an “earthquake”, observing which types of
buildings sustained the least damage.
Language:
Write up traffic signs to use in a block neighborhood.
Social/Emotional:
Blocks are perfect for dramatization and role play. You can create props by
gluing pictures to blocks or cereal boxes. Issue a challenge such as building an
airport or a dream house.
Life Skills:
There is something so satisfying about the THUNK when you toss a block into its
container. Set up a basket for each type of block and sort the blocks at the end
of playtime for some great clean-up practice.
