Encourage children to plan, design and develop their own construction ideas with our My Design Template for the Construction Area.
This simple, open-ended template gives children a space to draw and record what they would like to build before beginning their construction. It can also be used during play as children adapt their ideas, or afterwards to record what they have created.
Perfect for supporting:
Planning and developing ideas
Drawing and early mark-making
Giving meaning and purpose to children’s marks
Problem-solving and creative thinking
Talking about designs and explaining ideas
Making changes and improvements
Linking drawing and writing with construction play
Comparing initial designs with finished constructions
Add the templates to your construction area alongside pencils, clipboards and measuring tools to encourage children to independently plan and record their ideas as part of continuous provision.
Ideal for Nursery, Preschool and Reception classrooms and Early Years settings.
All Early Years Staffroom resources are carefully created and reviewed by experienced, qualified primary school teachers with QTS, with a focus on practical, high-quality support for Early Years practitioners.
