Are the blocks open? Is a question that is asked every day in the classroom (they always are, even if it was really really difficult the day before to get those blocks put away)....and we are honored to observe the children in their play.
Often these very solid blocks serve to transport the builders elsewhere. There is a designated driver and a navigator.
The blocks can float down the Hudson with a sail.
Transport a number of children through outer space.
become a big ship that is safe from sharks
Sometimes there is great fluidity and flexibility in building with blocks and no completed product but many ideas floated and tried.....
Sometimes we see a plan in action and a completed product that has a name and a purpose as in the photo above....a castle for princesses.
