BUILDING – Building is vital to children’s

development, what is evident when children are

building is the creativity used to bring different

objects together as they play, creating new usage as
a result of the combination – what is known

theoretically as combinatorial flexibility. Whether

children are building dens with bed sheets and tables,
chairs or wooden poles, or using tools to try and build

something extraordinary, the bringing together of

different objects feeds the creative mind of children.
