Would it surprise you to know that the way your child plays with blocks can be predicted? There are 7 stages of block play, and every child goes through each of them, whether they pick up their first block as a toddler or later in childhood.ย 
ย 
Our trusted block play expert, Sami Krasny of Sami Krasny โ€ข homeschool mom & block play expert, describes each stage of play and explains what you can expect to see as your child explores unit blocks in her most recent blog on guidecraft.com. Itโ€™s worth getting familiar with these stages because understanding where your child is can help you better support their learning through play. Use the link in our bio to get more information!

Inspired by the bold colors and expressive shapes of Kandinsky, little artists can explore how lines, circles and color work together to tell a story. ย 

Through open-ended process art, children have the freedom to experiment and create while building confidence along the way!

So much important learning happens when children play. You might be shocked by whatโ€™s really happening when children play with blocks. Swipe to learn more about the meaningful development that is happening while children build. For even more info, visit the link in our bio to read our blog!

Kids are learning math with blocks.ย 
Unit blocks are mathematically designed, meaning every single shape in the set is a fraction or multiple of the same base unit. Your child will intrinsically be learning about fractions through play!

Kids are learning science with blocks.ย 
Every block build is a little experiment. Kids are testing theories, learning about gravity, balance, and stability, and getting immediate, honest feedback.ย 

Kids are building language skills with blocks. ย 
Kids narrate what theyโ€™re building, describe how it works, ask for more pieces, explain to their play partner what to do, and make elaborate signs to protect or label their structures.

Kids are working through real life with blocks.ย 
Children use dramatic play to make sense of experiences that feel big, complicated, or important, and since unit blocks are so open-ended and neutral, they are one of the very best materials for this important work of childhood.

Unit Blocks have been the best open-ended toy for over 100 years, and thatโ€™s for good reason!

Consistent for a century, this mathematically-aligned system of building blocks encourages children to learn through play, make countless discoveries and find ultimate satisfaction while creating with pieces that fit just right.

We challenged ourselves to find ways to encourage more exploration with unit blocks, and pushed outside of the box to develop a set of blocks that incorporate color and invite play with light.

We are so proud to introduce the first acrylic unit block sets ever made. From solid acrylic blocks, to faceted gems, to blocks with window openings and more, these sets align seamlessly with standard unit blocks and encourage constructive play.

With our new acrylic unit block sets, kids are finding all kinds of new ways to build and explore!

Children can now build well-balanced, mathematical structures that not only encourage exploration with gravity, but also consider the position of a sunbeam to refract light through windows. They can explore how colors mix, and how they bend and change when acrylic blocks are stacked or layered together. They can experiment with a familiar play tool in new ways with blocks that have window-like openings and countless possibilities.

Any room in the house can become a playroom, but the best location balances visibility, accessibility, and natural light.ย 
ย 
If the living room is where the family naturally gathers, position the playroom as an extension of it, so children are nearby and parents can glance over while doing other tasks.
ย 
ย If the kitchen is the hub of activity, place the playroom adjacent to it, ensuring children can remain engaged while adults cook or clean.ย 
ย 
Natural light is non-negotiable. Children, like all humans, thrive in well-lit spaces. A room filled with sunlight improves mood, energy, and cognitive function. Windows not only bring in light but also act as portals to the outside world.ย

Children don't need to be taught to be curious. They only need room to follow where curiosity leads ๐Ÿƒ

Outdoor play gives them that space, and not just that, the chance to learn through their whole bodies and using all of their senses.

Digging, balancing, watching, wondering. Creating art inspired by what they see and feel. This is how real understanding takes root, not from being told, but from discovering ๐ŸŒฟ

At Guidecraft, we design toys and materials that encourage connection to the earth, give kids chances to learn through experience, and trust them with the agency to explore on their own terms.

When children build their own relationship with the natural world, caring for it stops being a lesson and starts being instinct ๐ŸŒฑ
