It’s possible that I say this every week, but I had so much fun reading the posts shared for the Discover & Explore Build It! Theme. There were so many creative ideas for little engineers!
Today I’m featuring some great posts that can be set up for kids as invitations to create. If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that we love to set up open-ended invitations to create, play or explore. I can’t wait to set up some of these activities for the kids very soon!

Toilet Roll Structures from Happy Hooligans

What other building materials have you set up for kids to make their own creations? I’d LOVE some new ideas for our upcoming school year.
These posts and other highlights have been pinned to the Discover and Explore Pinterest Board.

Great round up, Shaunna. I always say that my little guy is an engineer in training, so he’d love to do any of these.
