Toys, Crafts, & Learning fun
Bringing in different materials to block play creates excitment. Adding things like coloured lights and mirrors can create new ideas.
What about balls and ramps?
Having a lot of shapes and size blocks for children to play with. It is good to have a variety of materials and textures.

I saw this and thought it was a great idea to have paper where the blocks are. This could be a fun activity for childnre, they could draw a picture of what they want to try and build. This would add a different challenge to block building.

Using different forms of blocks to play with. Adding in loose parts to bring out creativity and imagination.
Involving Parents
Adding a mirror to block building allows children to see what they are building from all angles. They can see themselves play and see other children in the room.
