Prepare the space: calm, inviting, ready for play.
Warm the relationship: connection before construction, attune to the child.
Offer the bricks: follow the child’s lead as a curious companion.
Fold in curiosity: “I wonder…” goes a long way, acting like oxygen for play.
Season with intention: hold goals lightly.
Allow time to rise: play needs time to unfold at its own pace.
Stir in storytelling: co‑create meaning.
Reflect together: notice discoveries and feelings and adjust your prompts or pace.
