Today during center time Axel, Carter B. and Asher explored in the Walnut Room. They discovered the Magna-Tiles and began to create different shapes and structures. Their adventure began by only stacking the tiles flat, but they soon discovered ways to make 3D cubes. Upon this discovery, they began creating houses for the plastic animals that were nearby. Axel made a large house for his parrot to be comfortable. Asher made a smaller cube for his gorilla to live in. Throughout their time in the Walnut Room they made many discoveries about the shapes they could make and the endless possibilities of the Magna-Tiles.
"Mine is a bigger place. More animals can fit in mine. There's lots of space" -Axel
Axel created a home for his parrot, while Asher created a home for his gorilla.
"Mine are all boxes. They are all closed so it doesn't snow on them" -Asher
Asher enjoyed showing other children how to create the cubes.
