True open ended play means that children will always devise new and novel activities and explorations with the materials that they have. They will explore all spaces in any given apparatus no matter how big or small, and so more spaces equals more exploration. Linking resources which the setting already has with alternative materials means that children can explore new worlds which they have constructed.

We actively encourage open ended play, and have a variety of pieces of wood, logs, crates, pipes and materials which allow children to create their own worlds from the resources available. The children have recently built a fairy garden from twigs which they foraged on an excursion, proving that their creative minds allow them to build constructions out of anything!
Linzi and Karen Nursery Practitioners Budding Wood Nursery, Manchester
Although wooden blocks and stickle bricks have a time and a place during play I believe it is really important that children have the opportunity to construct using alternative resources. So many things can be built and created using boxes, crates and cardboard tubes. Giving children the space and time to select their own materials will encourage them to think of their own ideas.
Anna Healy, Childminder Manchester
Alternate construction is important for children. It allows children to think outside of the box and be creative. Making an igloo for example out of plastic milk bottles or a castle out of cereal boxes. Children can explore with different materials and investigate why certain materials are used for certain purposes.

The Maths Train is an exciting and imaginative way
for younger children to work intuitively with early
maths while having heaps of fun. Together they will

various functions and scenarios around the railway.
We understand that starting school is a big event in any child’s life. That’s why at LEGO® Education we have developed fun resources that support the development of key skills such as social development, language, communication and numeracy.
