are building up the blocks. Then let your toddler knock the tower
down. |

toddler build a tower with only red blocks and a tower with
only blue blocks. Count the blocks in each tower.

BLOCK PRINTING
| Make a paint pad by folding
a paper towel, placing it on a plate, and pouring on a small
amount of tempera paint. Show your toddler how to press one
side of a plastic, interlocking block onto the paint pad and
then onto a sheet of paper to make a print. Let your child try
printing with each side of the block. Talk about the different
prints each side makes. |

BLOCK SHAPES
|
Look through a box of wooden blocks. Find
pairs of blocks with the same shape, such as two small squares,
two rectangles, two large squares, and two triangles. Mix
up the blocks. Help your child find each pair of matching
blocks. Name the shapes of each block pair.
|
BLOCK PUZZLE |
| Find several blocks of varying
sizes and shapes. Place the blocks on a piece of cardboard and
trace around them with a marker. Set out the blocks and the
cardboard. Let your toddler place each block on its matching
shape on the cardboard. |
