Stacking and Stacking and Stacking

One day we had these builders.  They aren't particularly special or unique, but they do fit together nicely and they are easy for little hands to manipulate.  We had one Bunny in particular who spent most of her day around these builders.  At one point she asked Mrs. Magee for help to hold the tower steady while she made it as tall as she possibly could.
Once we see a child really excited about a particular toy or skill, it's our job to help the child fully explore his or her interest.  So, the next day we hauled in Unifix cubes which can be assembled in a similar way.  We cleared off an entire shelf and turned her loose. 

LOOK what happened!!!
With incredible determination, she diligently stacked the cubes and laid them out to cover the ENTIRE length of the shelf.  Amazing!!
