Suddenly, large and small boxes appeared in toddlers’ classroom. What could we do with them?

We turned them into sofas, exactly like in the stories we read. We imagined sailing in the sea and boxes were transformed into boats!

We played “hide and seek” and we found unique ways to hide ourselves inside the boxes. We had fun, we played and we learned! We got familiar with special notions such us “in and out”. We practiced our gross and our fine motor skills.

Last but not least, we learned to share and to wait for our turn! We became more sociable and friendly. We came closer and bonded more!
