Location: indoor or outdoor

Materials: blocks of styrofoam, golf tees, hammers

Not everyone feels comfortable bringing real tools into their preschool classroom. Golf tees and styrofoam can be a good substitute to recreate the experience of hammering nails into wood.

The golf tees can be removed to be hammered over and over again.

Possible Extensions:

• Include this in a construction dramatic play
• Add marbles to the play and encourage kids to try balancing marbles on the golf tees
