Up! Taking Construction Play to the Next Level
Our latest collaborative eBook, Up! features 30+ activities and includes over 100 printables to turn your block center into a center for learning math, literacy, science, engineering, and art, all through child’s play.

As with ABCs and 123s, featuring 40+ hands-on, play-based multi-sensory activities for learning, ideal for children ages 2 to 8, all activities were created by established kids activity bloggers, tried and tested with their own children. Activities have been carefully chosen to offer a wide range of explorations, working across the learning spectrum to incorporate play, imagination, math, literacy, STEM challenge ideas, sensory and art.
In this eBook, you will get:
- 30+ hands-on projects that invite your child to explore all things Up!
