A must-have for every teacher, Block Play enhances every preschool and kindergarten classroom's block corner with over 50 great activities. Clear descriptions of what children learn by playing with blocks accompany the activities. Each suggestion considers the ability and interest level of the children and encourages problem-solving, fine- and grossmotor development, and the development of math, science, language, and social skills. Create craft board trees, railroad tracks, and skyscrapers and watch children experience the joy of learning through blocks!
