Unusual Things in the Blocks Center

This week I'll be posting links from the blog archive about blocks and the blocks center.

My kids love to play in the blocks center. We've had some unusual items to use in the center. In a previous post, I talked about having fabric with the blocks. Here are some of my other favorite unusual things we've had in the center.

Straws and Small Buckets - Kids played with the straws and buckets independently and added the straws to a building.


Index Cards - Simple index cards can add some different dimensions to building.


Chenille Stems and a Colander - The kids incorporated the materials in their structure and created things with the chenille stems alone.
