geometric blocks in our house


the blocks are in again. i am excited to see the kids take them out again, after not having used them for over a year. i was very quick to get the pattern sheets out too and of course thea was soon working hard on getting those blocks into the printed patterns. the older ones are not as eager to work with the sheets, but do big designs on their own, which is fantastic. it's the colours thea is naming them by and the older ones are using the geometric names and then, of course things get all mixed up the girl... she is super interested to say and do things as her olde siblings and is coping a lot or if she is uncertain, just trying a variation anyway.
this much to our favorite "game" of mid winter indoor play.
