Help your Reception child explore height and counting through a simple building game.

Build the Tallest Tower combines number cards with construction play. Players turn over a card, count out the matching number of LEGO, Duplo or blocks and add them to their tower. As the towers grow, children compare height, practise one-to-one counting and use words such as taller, shorter and the same height.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Start with number cards 1–5, then add larger numbers, pause to compare towers after every turn or challenge your child to predict which tower will become tallest.
