How do we use these blocks?

The Adamah class has wooden blocks of different sizes neatly lined up and organized on the shelf.  It might seem obvious to us how to use them, but the children are challenged to come up with new and creative ideas.  So far, our blocks have become tracks for cars, garages, castles, and even an ark for the Torah. 

When all the blocks are out on the rug, it can feel intimidating to get them back on the shelves in the right spots.  But by matching the block shapes with the pictures inside the cabinet, we're starting to figure out where they go.
