Construction Site
Imagine children experiencing physics, geometry, and math all while playing! Our Construction Site includes a challenging pipe building activity and wooden planks for building structures large and small. The Pretend City Construction Site is undoubtedly a bustling hub of fun for builders young and old!
The following are some of the activities which will support brain developing connections and California State Educational Content Standards that are addressed at the Construction Site.
