Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Working Together

Related Episode: Remember the Pillow Fort

Subjects/Skills: Building; Social Skills

Materials Needed:
Pillows, blankets, child-size chairs
Paper
Crayons

Directions:
Let your child ask a friend or sibling to help him build a pillow fort. Provide supplies, such as pillows, blankets, and child-size chairs.

Explain to the children that they will have to work together to build the fort. First, like all good builders, they should think of the steps they need to take to make their fort.

Next, they should use the drawing to actually build the fort. Remind them of the importance of listening to each other's ideas, and working together to make sure that they are both happy with the fort.

When they're finished playing with the pillow fort, tell the children that there's still one more thing that they have to do together-clean up!
