I had given my boys a challenge to build something new out of blocks.
Sweet Pea happened to have his hex bug next to him, so as he pondered out loud what he could possibly build I flippantly said, “You know, like a maze for your hex bug or something.”
Of course, that took away part of the challenge, but the result of his work was pretty cool for a 5 year old! (can you see the little hex bug working it’s way through the maze in the pic?) Building like this takes coordination, concentration, trial and error…
There have been a few other times I issued this challenge to my boys, but I forgot to take pictures. One time it turned into a contest of who could build the tallest tower. Another time they built a long, flat road and used it for cars as well as a balance beam. Still another time they laid all of the blocks out flat and tried to use it as a dance floor! (That was fun!)
Offer your kids this challenge…what did they build with blocks?!
