There are many contributing factors in the development of a young child’s mind, but one factor that might not seem obvious is play time with building blocks. In the article “A Developmental Look at Rigorous Block Play Program,” Diane Hobenshield Tepylo, Joan Moss, and Carol Stephenson discuss how intentionally planned building block times can develop an understanding of geometry and measurement, improve spatial reasoning skills, and decrease the unequal spatial reasoning skills between males and females. The authors also go into detail on what types of activities could be used in these planned play times and the stages of block building progression that children experience from ages four to eight.
