Wooden blocks are one of the most versatile simple toys. You can do so much with them, and they incite so much imagination that it's hard for adults not to play with them too!
I recently paid very close attention to Emma and Greyson playing with our wooden castle blocks. Emma was counting each block as she stacked them and Greyson was lining the fence blocks up and pushing them like a train (complete with choo choo noises). It's important to note that these two behaviors were not prompted whatsoever. This is the perfect example of authentic play bringing out a child's imagination!
