Construction Play

What do children learn from Construction Play?

Construction play helps young children build more than structures - it builds skills! As children stack, balance, sort, and create, they strengthen their hands, develop fine-motor and hand-eye coordination, and explore early math concepts like shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. Open-ended building also encourages creativity, problem-solving, imagination, and language as children describe and share their ideas.
