Build a repeating fence

I can use block, stick, block, stick to build a toy fence pattern.

Let’s get started

Today we will explore build a repeating fence through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.

Learn together

  1. Watch together: Use block, stick, block, stick to build a toy fence pattern.
  2. Try it as a team: Touch each object and count slowly. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
  3. Try once more in a new way: Sort or compare real objects. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
