Let Them Build and Watch Them Learn!

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.
If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.
Whatever good things we build end up building us.
~ Jim Rohn ~


Symmetry and patterning


Height, stability, balance, risk taking.


Collaboration and make-believe


Materials come together and extend play and deepen thinking

 

Planning


Observing


Inspiring



Teamwork





Angled roofs atop happy homes

 

Cylinders and tubes - stacked, sideways, inside, on top


Rectangles, ramps and frames - stacked, sideways, inside, on top



Pieces that click in place


Travelers


Builders

 
 

Big thinking from small sizes

 
 





A thousand words
A thousand ways of thinking



Let them build and watch them learn!

Fairy Land


 
Creating a scenery for the background of Fairy Land.
Each fairy has unique abilities.
  
 
 
Being very careful with the tools and materials.
 
   
Creating 'fairy dust'.
 
A wall planter becomes a fairy home. Tiny furniture is made and added.
 
A tree is fashioned from a stick and some moss. The 'Tree Fairy' lives there. 
The Tree Fairy can see far.
What do we know about fairies? What can we find out?
Having a Fairy party! What a celebration!
 
A fairy gathering. What do fairies talk about?
A fairy wedding took place. John and Ginger were married. 
They are going to have a family.
More fairy dust.
Fairies on the move.
A fairy dog and a fairy baby join John and Ginger Fairy's family.
Where will the new fairy family live?
 
Fairy Land...waiting for the children to engage in another magical day!
