Learning to control their grip and movement. I believe the action with the tiles connecting and separating helps strengthen the muscles in their finger and hands.
Great for writing later on.
Next time I’ll ask E or B “ What happens if you add a tile here?” or “ how could you make this structure taller?” A fantastic way to practice their fine motor skills, creativity, and social interaction for future learning.

As I observed B building with Lego, he proudly pointed to the pieces he stacked and named the colors one by one. This showed his growing ability to identify and label colors, as well as his confidence in sharing what he knows.
His engagement in the activity also reflected fine motor development as he carefully placed each Lego block on top of the other, creating balance and structure. By naming the colors aloud, he demonstrated both language development and cognitive skills, making connections between objects and their attributes.
This moment highlights how play provides rich opportunities for learning across multiple developmental areas.
