Blocks are one of the most important tools in a young child's development.
Block-building teaches children concepts related to space, organization, geometry, balance, coordination, and shape. Children learn they can construct a small world, knock it down, and recreate it. Your block center should be a large open area, preferably on a carpet. It is recommended NOT to have a table in the block center. Provide a variety of type of blocks to encourage experience in working with different materials.
