A neighborhood for our toys

Gather a few things

Large age-rated blocks and one large soft toy.

Let’s play

1. Place two blocks on a clear floor.
2. Invite your toddler to add another or move one aside.
3. Make a low home for the toy and a path beside it.
4. Take turns rebuilding whenever the blocks tumble.

A little learning to notice

Explore tall, short, next to, and underneath through what you build.

Keep a little memory

Make a quick grown-up sketch of the creation and record the name your toddler gives it.

Make it work for your child

Start with only two blocks. Build within easy reach from supportive seating.
