Encourage the children to use their prior knowledge to build elaborate structures. Examples include a pirate ship, an airplane, a train or a boat. Provide posters or books with illustrations that they can copy such as The Big Book of Trains by DK Publishing, All Aboard Trains by Mary Harding or The Boat Book by Gail Gibbons. Take photos of structures they build, print the pictures and place them in the block center for future reference.
