You don’t need test tubes or a fancy lab to do science. Sometimes all you need is a curious kid, a bunch of jumbo blocks, and a little room to experiment.

Yep, science starts with play. And there’s no better tool for hands-on learning than extra large building blocks that kids can stack, crash, rebuild, and repeat. It’s trial and error but in the most fun way posible.

Every Big Idea Starts with a “What If?”

Kids are natural scientists. They’re constantly asking “what if”—and that’s where learning begins.

“What if I build a tower with a wider base?”
“What if my bridge has no middle?”
“What if I only use red jumbo blocks—will it still stand?”

These questions are the start of a hypothesis. And when your child asks those questions while building, they’re already using the scientific method.

Try It, Break It, Try Again

Once kids make a guess, the fun part begins. It’s time to build and see what happens!

Trial and error is where jumbo block play really shines. Maybe the bridge falls. Maybe the rocket tips over. That’s okay! Actually, that’s more than okay—it’s awesome. Because now, your child gets to try again.

They’ll figure out how to make a sturdier base, a taller tower, or a faster car—all while flexing their problem-solving muscles. With jumbo building blocks, there’s no fear of failing. Every “oops!” leads to a better build.

Turn Playtime into Mini Science Experiments

Want to turn your living room into a playful science lab? Try these easy, low-prep challenges using extra large building blocks:

The Tallest Tower Test – Can you build a tower taller than yourself? What happens when you remove the bottom blocks?
Bridge Strength Challenge – Build a bridge and see how many books or toys it can hold. How can you make the bridge stronger? Do you need more support in the middle? 

These simple experiments introduce key science concepts like gravity, balance, force, and design—all without ever cracking open a textbook.

Why It’s More Than Just Play

While your kids are busy stacking, building, and rebuilding, something big is happening behind the scenes.

They’re practicing:

• Critical thinking

• Cause and effect

• Fine motor skills

• Teamwork (if you build together!)

They’re learning all of this in a way that feels natural and fun. That’s the magic of jumbo blocks—they meet kids right where they are.

Big Blocks, Big Ideas

Science doesn’t have to be serious. With Biggo Blocks, your child learns how to make guesses, test them, and improve—all in one play session. It’s STEM learning in its most colorful, hands-on form.

So the next time your child wonders, “What happens if I build it like this?”—hand them a pile of extra large building blocks and say, “Let’s test it out!”

Happy building, happy experimenting!
