Is he hungry? Let’s make some food for his dish.” She notices Jacob rolling a ball between his hands. “Are you making a snake? Can you make him wiggle into his cave?” She sees that Sam has just arrived. “Come and join us. I have a bowl of red playdough for you.” Emma, 4 years old, carefully steps around the other block structures to inspect the hospital she helped build. She is problem solving. What will the community need next? Dylan and Rohit, frequent players in the block center, are deep in conversation. How should the river flow through the community? Nearby, Aditya, who recently began to play in the block center, chimes in, saying, “I think you need a bridge over the river. The ambulance has to get to the hospital.” Further down the river, Ms. Lisa kneels down to examine Emma’s work. Emma discusses with her the merits of building the doctor’s bed next to the hospital.
