Sturgeon Lake Clubhouse Family Child Care

BLOCKS AND MORE BLOCKS

Blocks, blocks, blocks, so many blocks. Here at the Clubhouse we have indoor and outdoor blocks. The picture on the right you’ll see a little girl playing with geometric blocks with a pattern, not only can you build with them, but you can make patterns, mazes, graphs and more.

Here on your left and on the bottom you will see our outdoor blocks which has a home for putting them away. They take out the blocks and with some blocks they may ask a peer for help. These blocks interlock like Legos which keeps them in place while in play.

Here in this picture to your right you can see that they have made a boat. Each person has their own seating and role. Wishing they had more blocks to add to their creation.

Blocks and more blocks.

Here on the left they are playing with CHUB blocks. In this picture they are trying to build it very high has they can. I asked them “What’s your next step to make it higher?” They replied “knock it down and start over again.” Hoping they would think of chairs or asking me, but maybe next time.

The picture on the right we have a little girl seeing how high she can stack her blocks before it falls down. The picture in the right and left bottom corner you see 2 children playing side by side playing with Legos and a 3D puzzle blocks.

Blocks are not just for FUN, but build cognitive, language, social, math and fine/large motor skills. 2016
