There are so many creative and imaginative ways you can play with blocks. Just recently I have seen some really cool printables that can turn block free time play into a real learning experience! A lot of these ideas come from preschools, where teachers have block stations set up, but there is no way you can’t do this in your own home!
Printables:
FREE Block Center I Can List
FREE Pattern Block Printable Mats
Shape Sorting Blocks with FREE Printable
Build a City Counting Game
Building Block STEM Challenge Cards

Book of Structures for the Block Center – this can turn block play into a fun, world geography lesson.
Castles in the Block Center – what a fun idea, to have your kids replicate REAL Castles!
