Block construction area activity
Guild rank: apprentice — Partly checked
The quest
Blocks on the floor, not on a table: construction that involves a tower that falls needs the space to fall in. Box the blocks up rather than shelving them, because the emptying and refilling is part of the play and children manage it themselves from about three. Wide, flat blocks are easier to build with than cubes, and a board on the floor to build on saves a lot of frustration. Photos of towers left standing on the wall, changed weekly, quietly set the bar for what a build can be.
