The other day Max brought out his blocks, something he hasn't played with in a very long time. We started to build and I drew up a few buildings, cut them out and taped them on. I was so amused, watching him drive his taxi in and out of the buildings, that I thought I'd share this with you.
Two great things about this project:
First it's a great way for kids to work on their counting skills, by counting how many blocks it takes to get to the top of the buildings (not to mention their guess and check skills).
Second, it's your time to shine as a parent by drawing these awesome buildings. Can't draw? Neither can I, but by checking out a few images online of buildings in NY, I was able to make some rudimentary drawings that Max was impressed with (he didn't directly say, but I'm quite sure he was).
This project goes well with this book:
