Construction play offers open ended opportunities for children to design and create imaginative structures. Using abstract, modular forms construction play presents a "what-if" question and allows children to construct and continually modify their own representations. Construction play requires fine and gross motor skills. Construction play enhances problem solving abilities, mathematic skills, and language skills. Construction play can also boost a child's self esteem!
