Tower Time

How it works

1. 1

   Let's begin by showing your child how to stack. Place one block on the floor, then slowly place another on top. Say, 'Look, I'm building a tower!' Then, hand your child a block and encourage they to try placing it on top of yours.

2. 2

   Now let's try building a taller tower. Place two blocks stacked, then hand your child a third block. Say, 'Can you make the tower even taller? Put this block on top!'

3. 3

   Let's add a fun challenge. Place a small toy or lightweight object on top of the tower and say, 'Look, our tower has a hat! Can you put another block under the hat to make it even taller?' Hand your child a block to add to the middle or bottom.
