Building a real structure together

Parent and child build something bigger than blocks — a cushion fort, a tape-road on the floor, a cardboard-box house. Multi-step project requiring shared planning. Agent coaches the parent to let the child set the vision. Observations track collaboration across longer arcs.

What you'll need

Clear a space. Gather materials — cushions, blankets, masking tape, cardboard boxes, chairs. Anything stackable and movable.

How it works

  1. 1~30s

    Start by asking them: 'What shall we build?' Take whatever they says seriously. If they says 'a dinosaur house', that's what you're building.

  2. 2~120s

    Build the structure according to their vision. When you add something, ask — 'Can I put a window here?' Let them approve or redirect.

  3. 3~120s

    When it's built, climb in together. Be inside their creation. Name it. 'This is OUR house. We built it!'
