Description
Create a rich and engaging small blocks provision with the Small Blocks Resource Collection 2–3yrs, a carefully curated collection of natural wooden blocks, colourful nesting blocks, mirror blocks and conical figures, designed to support children's early mathematical understanding, physical development and growing confidence as they investigate shape, space and balance.
Children can use the versatile resource collection to stack, balance, arrange and combine blocks in many different ways. The varied selection of natural wooden blocks, nesting blocks, mirror blocks and natural conical figures encourages children to investigate shape, size and space while developing increasing confidence when constructing simple towers, enclosures and structures. As children lift, carry and position the blocks, they begin to notice similarities and differences, explore how shapes fit together and investigate how different arrangements can be created.
Small block provision offers valuable opportunities for early mathematical development. As children stack, balance and combine blocks, they begin to compare size, investigate shape and explore balance while developing an awareness of shape, space and measure. Returning to familiar resources allows children to revisit ideas, adapt their constructions and build confidence over time.
Handling, positioning, carrying and transporting the blocks also supports physical development by strengthening hand, arm and shoulder muscles while developing coordination and control. As children construct alongside others, they begin to communicate their ideas, share resources and observe different ways of using the materials, supporting communication and language development alongside growing confidence and independence.
Combine with the Large Blocks Resource Collection 2-3yrs to extend opportunities for construction using larger-scale resources and encourage children to investigate building on different scales.
Explore the full range of block resources for further mathematics, communication and language, physical development and understanding the world opportunities.
