Highlighted Article: “Block play with no blocks” by Jo Gilks

Ever since I began working in early years at the beginning of the 1990s, I have known that blocks and block play were an important part of our early years provision.

I didn’t learn about Froebel’s theories about gifts and blocks until some time later, but block play was always an intrinsic part of the offer and never something to be omitted.
