For children of all ages, building toys have significant cognitive and academic benefits. They are not only entertaining and exciting, but they also help children develop a wide range of skills and abilities. They help children prepare for school, sports, and life! These toys can be thought of as “building blocks” for success!
Playing with construction toys has both short and long term benefits. For example, children can learn rote and immediate colours and shapes while also developing visual-spatial awareness, which will aid in the development of future reading and writing skills. Children will also learn to collaborate with others and to problem solve. Both skills are required as a child and as an adult.
