Constructing with Sticklebricks

19/10/2020

 
We always have a range of activities outside as many children like to spend time in the garden and it is a healthy place to be. We offer many opportunities for using big body movements - gross motor skills - as well as opportunities to use fine motor skills. Sticklebricks work well as they are not too difficult to fit together but they come in a nice variety of shapes and colours and children are able to select and arrange them as they would like. There is also a bit of a knack to getting them to stand upright. This type of activity can be very absorbing and can help children to focus for longer periods. These are open-ended resources which means children can make their own decisions about what to make with them and how to connect the pieces. Sometimes they are most interested in the idea of connecting the pieces. At other times they may set out to make a particular item.
