Play & Practice

Build from a Look

A tiny picture construction becomes a satisfying challenge for curious builders. Explore the position of shapes, notice useful details and find a way to show what you have seen. Keeping a model available is a valid choice, and looking again is part of the fun. Four flexible variations offer a gentle starting point and another possibility whenever your child wants one.

The thinking behind this activity
