Building creativity through block play
At BestStart Dixon Street tamariki love being creative. One of the many ways we nurture creativity is through imagination using wooden blocks.
Tamariki extend their thinking through creativity with the manipulative wooden blocks. Firstly, one of our older tamariki created a castle and shared their learning experiences with other tamariki. Younger children absorbed this information and saw how they could create using blocks. This type of experience helps to create postitive relationships with peers and increases their communication and negotiation skills when playing with others.
