My 3 year old has always loved playing with blocks and toy animals so I am often looking for fun play activities which combine these two toy room staples. We got some new books all about penguins and polar bears so I thought it would be fun to set her up with an invitation to build an arctic habitat.
What you need:
- building blocks (we used our colorful wooden blocks from our Blocks Rock! game)
- toy animals (we love these small arctic ones from Safari Ltd.)
- white felt as a snowy base
- some fun books to enrich the set up (we added two National Geographic ones)
This took a matter of minutes to set up. I simply put the blocks and animals in some bowls, lay out the felt like a sheet of snow, and then placed the books next to the set up. With an invitation to create like this I try and keep things as open-ended as possible so I didn't build a demonstration or give any directions as such. I just asked my daughter if she could build a home for the animals.
My little one was very excited about this set up and couldn't wait to get her hands on those cute little polar bears and penguins! She loved the idea of building a home for them and got straight to work using the blocks.
