Shimmering Water Blocks, 8/pkg
Eight blocks per package: 4 rectangle and 4 half moon shapes. Features acrylic inner with colored liquid.

So, what does your child learn from blocks?

Motor Skills:
Block play is all about eye-hand coordination and visual perception. Want to take it up a notch? Stack soft blocks or cushions as high as your preschooler can jump over them. Make an obstacle course or maze with blocks, and then knock a ping pong ball along the course with a golf club or clean fly swatter.

Math:
You can pattern blocks by shape or color. Blocks can be used as units of measure. It's easy to see how a 6-block-high tower is taller than a 4-block-high one.

Science:
You can demonstrate levers and inclined planes with blocks. One of our favorite science experiments involved making different types of block buildings on a movable table and then creating an "earthquake", observing which types of buildings sustained the least damage.

Language:
Write up traffic signs to use in a block neighborhood.

Social/Emotional:
Blocks are perfect for dramatization and role play. You can create props by gluing pictures to blocks or cereal boxes. Issue a challenge such as building an airport or a dream house.

Life Skills:
There is something so satisfying about the THUNK when you toss a block into its container. Set up a basket for each type of block and sort the blocks at the end of playtime for some great clean-up practice.

Awards:
• OPPENHEIM TOY PORTFOLIO GOLD SEAL AWARD

Grade Level: Toddler, PreK, K, 1 and up

QUALITY EDUCATION = QUALITY TEACHING MATERIALS

What do prospective employers look for in an employee?
A proper education.

What does a college look for in an applicant?
Good grades in school.

Who supplies the education?
Teachers.

What do teachers need to maximize the learning within their classrooms?
Classroom supplies.

When you look at it like that it seems fairly obvious that school supplies are an important part of every child's education. A teacher's job is challenging enough without having to deal with a lack of teaching materials.

Classroom supplies range from the decor, to the bulletin board, to the books, slides and beyond. A teacher needs to find ways of engaging with their students who could be any age from pre-school right up to highs school. All kids are different and therefore the teaching environment needs to be as engaging and exciting as possible. No children want to go to school and spend all day in a classroom that is boring and offers no mental stimulation.

A child's development throughout the school years depends largely on how enjoyable they find the learning environment. School supplies can turn an ordinary, lifeless day at school into a fun-filled, interesting experience. Younger kids love bright colors and game-like lesson plans while older students enjoy using a variety of different media and audio visual aids. With the right teaching materials a teacher is able to grab hold of the attention of even the most unruly of students.

If you're on the lookout for great teacher resources you have most certainly come to the right place.
