Materials Needed:
Building Blocks and Legos: A variety of sizes and colors for endless building possibilities.

Step-by-Step Guide:
Gear Up: Welcome each child with a hard hat and a toy tool belt. Help them feel like real builders ready to tackle any project.
Building Stations: Set up different stations for various construction activities—blocks in one area, Legos in another, and a large space for cardboard construction.
Creative Construction: Encourage the kids to build structures collaboratively. They can create a mini-city with buildings, roads, and vehicles using all the materials provided.
Construction Challenges: Introduce fun challenges like building the tallest tower or creating a structure that can hold a specific weight.
Demolition Time: At the end of the playdate, if space and safety allow, have a controlled 'demolition' where kids can safely knock down some of their cardboard constructions.
Snack Ideas:
Builder’s Fuel: Mini sandwiches or wraps labeled as "builder’s fuel" for a hearty treat.
Construction Cone Treats: Ice cream cones filled with orange sherbet to mimic construction cones.
Toolbox Treats: A toolbox filled with snacks like pretzels, nuts, and small candies.
Tips for Success:
Emphasize teamwork by having the kids plan and build a project together.
Capture the fun with photos of the children wearing their hard hats and using toy tools.
Ensure safety by supervising all activities, especially those involving toy tools and demolition.
