Use a variety of building materials in addition to your standard
unit blocks. For examples, kids use
pipes,
gutters , or large blocks for dramatic play.

Using large blocks (
I made mine copying something like these…when I had just one toddler….who took long naps)
build a creation against a wall and then outline the blocks using blue
painter’s tape. Ta-da! You now have a full-scale blueprint! Encourage
children to follow the blueprint or create their own. Other props in
this theme might include hard hats, play tools, tool belts (
Home Depot sells a tool apron for only $1),
clip boards and pencils, real blueprints, phones/radios, orange cones,
and caution tape. You could also include a large appliance box and let
your children use it to design and create their structure.
