At an early age, infants love to reach out, grasp and hold onto objects within their reach. Their little hands at first find this awkward. Their inquisitive minds love to investigate these objects up close. Once they find there are objects they can manipulate, they love to see what they can do with them. Building blocks give young children a chance to develop eye-hand co-ordination.
By starting with soft 3-D blocks, babies have lots to explore and use muscles that are just beginning to develop. Their brain is making connections between what they touch to what they see. They love to use all the senses to discover more about these new attainable objects. so building blocks are an essential part of every child’s nursery. By the time they get to be toddlers, they start stacking them up and knocking them down, they learn about spatial relationships between objects, cause and effect, and that there are some things that they can control with a certain element of predictability. They come up with new ideas of what to do with them. Blocks continue to hold interest and have considerable educational value for preschool children so they should be readily available at every daycare. At this point Lego blocks give children a more varied option and they can use their imaginations to create and build a variety of scenarios with these classic toys that are so popular.
As children mature, their brains are developing and they are looking for more complex, more intricate things to build. This is where building sets can show them how to create many sophisticated structures they can use to impress family and friends. Building sets give them practice in learning to follow written and visual instructions, a skill need in every area of life.
