She works on the <a href=\"https:\/\/idahostars.org\/\">IdahoStars<\/a> project. This game provides four dice, one for each Building Block \u2013 relationships, engagement, environment, and emotional growth. Each die includes 5 PCEs practices themed around a Building Block.<\/p>\n<p>To play the game, cut out each Building Block die and fold it to make a cube. You can also tape it around a die or any cube object that you already own. Choose which Building Block you would like to practice and roll the respective die to find out what experience chooses you! You can also create custom dice with PCEs practices that uniquely fit your children or community.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h2>Creating intentional spaces for positive childhood experiences<\/h2>\n<p>PCEs provide opportunities for children to feel safe, feel heard, be a part of something bigger than themselves, and much more. Some Building Blocks come more naturally to us in our day-to-day lives. We fulfill them without realizing it. Other Building Blocks, however, can be more difficult to access, depending on the resources available in our community.<\/p>\n<p>This dice game helps make practicing PCEs more intentional and fun for you and the children around you. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or anyone who interacts with children, this game is for you!
