But What Are They LEARNING???
We know that children learn best through play and here are some of the things children learn and skills they develop while building with materials like Snap Blocks:
* concepts of shapes, size, length, & location
* to exercise imagination
* to cooperate with others
* eye-hand coordination
* problem solving
* hand strengthening
* pride in accomplishment
* to notice details (likenesses and differences) in objects
And that's how we do things at Marvelously Made Preschool
