Geoblocks to sort, to build with, and to eat?


Today when the children arrived, they were greeted with piles of geoblocks. How do these work? Some of the children wondered. They certainly did not fit together like puzzle pieces-- their edges were smooth.

"I can stack them like this"- Olive
"I did it!"- Abby
"They are eggs!"-Sam C and Ben
"I want to make circles." -Sam G
"Here!"- Nathan (Sam G asked for more red pieces, and Nathan shared with him!)

Here Ben is telling me all about the eggs they are making:

  1. Interesting to see them explore something more open ended than a typical puzzle. Thanks for capturing the reactions and comments.
