Block Party
The Block Party program offered by Purdue
Extension provides events that include free play
with blocks of all types and sizes for families
and their children ages 8 months to 8 years.
Parents interact and play with their children
while learning how to help them develop a
variety of skills such as math, science, social,
physical, new words, pre-reading, creative, and
problem-solving skills.
Unfortunately, blocks as a play material have
disappeared from many homes and early
childhood centers, but young children still need
and deserve opportunities that blocks offer to
play freely!
