Things to Explore
- Safety First: Check in at the tool bench to grab an orange reflective vest, safety googles, and gloves then set up traffic cones around your construction site.
- Boogie Boards: Draft the blueprints for your next creation on the erasable tablets.
Blueprints, Building & Block Play
Welcome to the block, neighbor … the Building Block that is! Explore a variety of building stations and block types that exercise exploration and experimentation, critical thinking and creativity, spatial skills and language, gross and fine motor development, and solo and group play. Lay tracks and conduct trains across our gigantic train table, screw together nuts and bolts on the peg board, build with foam beams and bricks, connect interlocking grid blocks, stack and balance KEVA planks or use them to construct more complex structures, and combine colorful Magnetiles and translucent blocks on the light table to make vibrant architectural creations.
