Inviting play

One way I like to invite my kids to play with certain materials is to set them up in an inviting way.  With blocks this often means building something!  A stack of blocks just calls little hands to come knock it down and build something new!  It does take a few more seconds at clean-up time to rebuild this pyramid stack, but I've found it's worth the time investment, as my kids have enjoyed their blocks much more than when they were piled into a basket the previous month.  Try it!
