Small Groups Block Area Ideas Kathy offers these ideas for inexpensive block props. Empty boxes - from small shoe boxes to big boxes, such as the ones diapers come in and retail outlet boxes.
Children love playing with the different shapes and sizes.
Teachers put these containers in the block area or play area. The children can make garages for cars or cages for animals. We have made a two room house with them. Preschool children never get enough of these containers.
