Build It Taller Challenge

Description

Your child builds the tallest structure they can from a mix of materials, then talks about what is holding it up. Toppling and rebuilding are part of it; the problem-solving is the point.

Play guide

  1. 1Gather a mix of stackable materials (blocks, cups, boxes, cans, lids) and clear a flat spot on the floor or a low table.
  2. 2Invite your child to build the tallest tower they can that still stands on its own.
  3. 3Let them try, topple, and rebuild without stepping in to fix it for them.
  4. 4When something falls, ask what they think happened and what they could change.
  5. 5When they finish, ask what is keeping the tower standing and admire it together before tidying up.
