Featured Question: How can I encourage boys and girls to play and learn together?

There are 13 boys and 3 girls in my classroom of 4s and 5s. The boys tend to spend most of their time in the block area and the girls in the dramatic play center. I have offered activities that I think will appeal to both genders, but the children still play separately. I would like to encourage the boys and girls to play and learn together. Help please!
