Last month at Creative World we had a blast building UP! Build It Up is a blast every year as we explore design, architecture, construction, and all of the elements that go into building. Check out some of the awesome inquiry activities we enjoyed:

Free drawing our block creations

Is it magnetic? Open-ended exploration with nuts, bolts, and more

How are walls made? Some are made with bricks – we investigated the bricks in our building

How important are measurements? We constructed designs with specific measurements and measuring tools

Dramatic Play got a construction spin with our hard-hat parade

What did we create? Take a look at our homemade blueprints

Our inquiry culminated in an Extreme Sizes Skyscraper Challenge! Parents voted for winners

Older students visited a real construction site!

How do WE measure up? We investigate numbers with real-life application

We got our hands on real tools (safely!)

Does it match? We investigated how nuts and bolts fit together

Using grid paper and real blueprint samples, we explored what goes into architectural design
Each month at Creative Word features an exciting new inquiry where we get hands-on and explore learning at each of our developmental stages. Check out your Creative World to learn more about how our Toddlers, Twos, Preschoolers, and PreK students are getting busy investigating brand new ideas!
