Blocks
Build Big, Build Strong, Build Smart
Did you know that children develop essential pre-reading skills by playing with blocks? In addition to providing an excellent opportunity for social and physical development, block play enhances creative thinking, cooperative skills, coordination, and logical reasoning. The Larsen-Sant Library is happy to offer a set of “Bionic Blocks”, ” Kapla blocks”, “Straws and Connectors” for play at the library.
These block sets are fun for ages 3 to 103. We encourage parents and children to come build and play together with these blocks at the library.
Constructive play with blocks develops early literacy skills and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math ) skills that are being promoted by all educators.
This block-play program was made possible with a grant from the Idaho Community Foundation.
