Our Teacher Tips
Stacking objects into towers is a skill that encourages hand-eye coordination and fine motor development. Encourage your little one to stack the blocks by following Educational theorist, Lev Vygotsky’s, Zone of Proximal Development, to scaffold your child’s learning. You can do this by; “I do” (demonstrate stacking), “we do” (stack blocks together, helping to centre and balance them), then finally, "you do” (child independently stacks).
For older children, discuss 3D shapes using language such as, corners, edges and faces to count the shapes attributes.
