In this video clip, Oliver is stacking large wooden frames that can be securely fitted together by placing the legs of one frame into the notches in another frame. He says, “Put it on the tower,” as he lifts a wooden piece and places it on top (00:03). His tower at this point is a randomly placed pile of these wooden frames. Oliver uses pretense to enhance his role as a builder. He says, “I need to hammer this” (00:06).

He transforms a soft cloth monkey into a pretend hammer by swinging the monkey with great force and making a sound effect, “m-m-m-mamps” (00:11).

He carries the second wooden piece with “legs” extended (00:22) and ready to be inserted into the empty notches of the piece below. The wooden pieces can be stacked securely in either orientation – legs down or legs up. Oliver may assimilate the protruding “legs” to a chair or stool and thus orients them downward. He works to add a third level by seating one leg and then wiggling the wooden piece until the other three legs shift into place (00:38-00:44).
