How to try it

Press two big toddler building bricks together and hand them to your toddler to pull apart. Once that is easy, help them line up two bricks and press them together, then build a short tower.

Materials

  • Large toddler building bricks

Safety note

Use large bricks made for under-3s, never small ones for older children, and stay close.

Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.

Why it matters

Pulling bricks apart comes before pressing them together, and both build the hand strength and aim your toddler needs for building.
