Building toys are one of the best investments because they are learning toys which are loved from babyhood to adult years. They are an active toy. Even babies with blocks are not passive!
Building or construction toys include individual blocks, connecting blocks, rods and connectors, interconnecting parts and magnetic components.
Building toys are not limited to building, well, buildings! Build a dinosaur, a marble run, a machine with gears, a robot, a plane or a merry-go-round.
Toy building sets teach: coordination, balance, creativity, logic, problem solving, instruction following, geometry and architecture. A great learning toy.
Babies love soft blocks which are colorful, easy to hold and fun stack up and knock down.
Wooden blocks with letter and numbers refine hand-eye coordination and also teach preschoolers patterns and combinations. The start of numeracy and word recognition. Perfect educational toys for toddlers!
School age children can use building toys for social competition or solo creativity. All brain stimulating fun.
Toy building sets can be used in pretend play; build a castle and fight the dragon; build a plane and fly it into the wide blue yonder; build a boat and sail it in your bath.
Creativity is built by taking a bucket full of wooden pieces and constructing a masterpiece on the lounge room rug.
Freeform construction toys allow great freedom of creativity. But building kits have their benefits as well. Particularly for the child who is not interested in building, or cannot or will not initially think of their own designs. After the kit is built they can be reassembled in an infinite number of combinations.
