Building blocks

Physical Education

• The child has developed their fine motor skills through handling and manipulating the building blocks.
• They have improved their hand-eye coordination by stacking and balancing the blocks.
• Through building structures, the child has enhanced their spatial awareness and understanding of shapes.
• The activity has also promoted gross motor skills as the child may have been required to move around and reach for blocks.

Continued development can be encouraged by introducing more complex building challenges, such as building bridges or towers with different shapes and sizes of blocks. Incorporating music and movement into the activity can also enhance physical development. For example, the child can build while dancing or marching to the rhythm of a song.
