In the thematic activity "Firefighter Heroes Block Constructions," children used Archimedean blocks as the primary material to transform two-dimensional designs on paper into three-dimensional structures. They faced challenges such as ensuring the stability and aesthetic balance of their constructions, and creating realistic fire trucks with limited materials. This process demonstrated their initial problem-solving abilities and team spirit, while also learning to creatively repurpose available resources.
