Enchanted Forest

10 min1 participant

Identify spatial relationships on a vertical plate, recognize notions of alignment and build columns to create trees.

Let's play!

  1. Add bricks to the base plate to help the tree grow.

  2. Let’s have a free play session!

How to prepare

  • 1 base plate

  • 16 random bricks or more

  • 1 bowl

Apply adhesive putty to the back of the base plate and stick it to a wall.

Attach one brick horizontally to the base plate: in the bottom left corner.

Facilitation tips

  • Suggest creation of an entire enchanted forest.

  • Ask “What makes it an enchanted forest?”.

Possible variations

  • Start the tree with more than one brick.

  • In preparation, start several trees.

  • Do not put the first brick and leave the base plate empty.

  • Play with peers.
