We found a picture that looks like it on the iPad\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201dWe made a high chair for the teddy to sit in to eat his lunch, and a bed for the dolly cos she was tired\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201dI builded my house. These are the walls. I made a table and chairs and bunk beds to sleep in\u201d.<\/p>\n Our 2 & 3 year olds have had lots of fun exploring stacking, demonstrating excellent problem solving skills by investigating how the blocks turn, fit on top of each other and different sizes, shapes and weights.

\nTo add further challenge and depth to their learning, our children were set a challenge to see if they could build a bridge to help our small world people cross the river safely! \u00a0 This sparked some wonderful conversation, problem solving, creativity and teamwork! Our children designed their own village with a school, park, shops and lots of houses and constructed some wonderful bridges to allow our people to cross the river safely to \u201cgo to the shops and the park\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/a>
