Building with Blocks

Building with blocks is a staple of early childhood education. Blocks and other manipulatives allow children to practice their problem solving skills. While also exercising these skills:

• Fine motor skills 
•  Hand eye coordination
•  Spatial Skills
•  Social Skills
• Language Arts
• Math Skills
• Innovative, Creative, and Divergent thinking

Blocks can be played with individually or as a group. In a group setting it can be a team building activity.  They have to communicate to one another and use there social skills to work together and make something incredible.

Here at The Academy of Gateway Block Center is part of our daily activities. Here we are having fun with blocks!
