A teacher’s provocation to encourage children to explore blocks.
Block play is like magic, very unpredictable: sometimes the blocks turn into a house, a bridge, or even a spaceship. When children play with blocks, their imagination unfolds and beautiful stories take place.

Exploring blocks also benefits children’s social and communication skills, as they describe their work and creations.
Children can be inspired by others’ ideas when playing with blocks, therefore prompting them to learn how to work with others and problem-solve. In addition, block play helps children’s physical development of gross and fine motor skills and promotes their spatial awareness by moving around, lifting, and practising their hand-eye coordination.
