Blocks, Blocks and more Blocks: Essential Materials for Play and Learning with Dr. Diane Kashin RECE November 10, 2018 Kanata, ON
Blocks are one of the most basic and essential elements of early childhood education. Blocks can be defined as visual-spatial construction play objects; materials that children use when they imagine and construct something in their world. They are also fun, engaging and a source of pleasure and learning.
As the ultimate open-ended materials, blocks lead to learning in all areas and support children across all developmental domains.
This interactive workshop will provide you with the history of blocks and how they relate to theory but most importantly will give you time to play with blocks – all sorts of blocks! You will leave feeling confident in your provision of block play for children full of ideas and resources related to the stages of block play, block area set up and the role of the educator during block play! Come to play. Play to learn!
