One morning Esther and AmariaLia sat down together at the
block center and built a long structure on the floor. They created a very
interesting pattern with the blocks. When they were finished building they each
took out a clipboard and drew the doors. Clipboards with paper and pencils are
always in the block area making it easy for the children to choose to make
diagrams of their block structures. Why are children encouraged to draw their
play/work? This drawing not only improves their fine motor skills it enhances
their cognitive ability to represent and later write about their work.
