Airplanes…rocketships…battleships…houses! The students used their creativity and their 100 legos to build something they created in their imagination. After building their creation, students drew a sketch of what they created and labeled it. We have some very creative architechs among us!
The manipulative center provides children with interesting materials to explore. Exploration is essential to the development of mathematical and logical thinking. Gears along with other manipulatives in our center allow children to refine hand-eye coordination and visual perception. Stacking, fitting connecting, stringing, comparing, matching, sorting, sequencing, building, classifying, persisting at tasks, turning knobs-children continue to build basic skills through manipulative play. Children also learn to think logically, understand cause and effect, recognize shapes, and predict outcomes as they manipulate toys from this center.
But let’s not leave out the FUN!
