A recent project in our Pre-K classroom, had us becoming designers and engineers. In small groups of 5 or 6 children, we talked about the various shapes of the blocks that were pre-cut on brown construction paper. We then discussed the different structures we could make, using the book, When I Build With Blocks, by Niki Alling, for reference.

Hi All,

Currently, I'm working on revamping some of my adult coloring books, so they may not be available for awhile. Also, I'm in the process of some brand new ones with new ideas! Stay tuned...

I'd like to run a Giveaway, for an adult coloring book! Can I have your help picking which one? Thank you! #coloring— Niki Alling (@nikialling) February 27, 2016
