100 Invitations to Build

Do you have little builders in your house? I’ve got a post for you! Or maybe you have a reluctant builder as I do. I’ve got a post for you too! It’s 100 Invitations to Build, a must download list of fun, unusual even downright silly things that you can build with. Because building helps kids develop in so many ways – fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, creative imagination, the list keeps going.

Iggy Peck, Architect

Today’s activity is inspired by one of our favorite books, Iggy Peck, Architect {affiliate}. Iggy has a passion for building and shows his reluctant classmates and teacher how building can get you out of a jam. And can be fun, too! He builds out of chalk, out of dirt, even out of pancakes. And the suspension bridge he and his classmates build out of sticks and string saves the day.
