Little one starting school in August or September?
Did you know…. while building towers, walls and working out “how can we make this stronger?” children are naturally developing early maths skills including shape, size, measuring and counting. (And they can do all this and more at Little City!)
Our dedicated Construction area also supports:
- Language and social skills through teamwork and discussion
- Fine motor skills through using tools and building pieces
- Gross motor skills through carrying and building with bricks, using a wheelbarrow and driving the digger
- Independence skills that support everyday tasks like dressing themselves
We’ve seen so many brilliant scenarios in this area - but a favourite has to be building homes for animals from the vets. Active play, creativity, communication and practical problem solving at its best!
What can you do at home? 🧱
- Build with blocks, boxes or cushions
- Encourage problem solving questions like “how could we make it stronger?”
- Play together and talk through ideas as you build
Learning through play every day ❤️ Everyone can achieve at Little City
