Learn to guide, expand, and assess children’s block play with nationally field tested curriculum that meets national standards. Block play is an important part of exploring physical properties such as gravity and balance as well as theories of structure like tension and compression. Real-life examples bring to life this exciting realm of science learning. Part of the Young Scientist Series and copublished with Redleaf Press.
"Building Structures with Young Children is much more than a book about building with blocks. The authors include numerous examples of extension activities, science experiences, and social interaction scenarios that make this a must-have book for anyone who takes unit block construction seriously—as we all should."
— Nancy P. Alexander, Director, Northwestern State University Child and Family Network
