Teamwork

The ever so sturdy toys are such a delight to own and watch the imagination take place.  Together a team of boys build a wall and a rocket ship out of beautiful birchwood blocks.  As a team, they discuss where each block should go and how it would serve the purpose of their design. Their dialogue sparks the interest of another


Along comes a younger preschooler to watch and the decision to join in and build along side them is made immediately.    Not only are blocks a time forgiving toy, but duplos are another toy that every home should have.  They help define fine motor skills, spark the imagination and provide hours of independent or group fun. 
Observing the children spending time building cars, walls, rocket ships or any other object that sparks their imagination, is one of the most delightful times I have here at PattyKakes Kidz.  Often times I am running to grab my camera to catch that perfect moment.  Sometimes I do catch them without them noticing.  I know their moments of creative play will play a huge role in their futures.  Who knows, they may become designers, architects, or any other careers, and the best part is I got to see it all happen right here. 

Building a Duplo Wall as a Team

Just found a Duplo man, hmmm now what to do with it?

  1. It's so fun spying on Riley at preschool! I put the pictures on our computer desktop every once in a while and he gets excited. ;)
