Wooden building blocks offer children something wonderfully simple: the freedom to create, experiment and imagine without being told exactly how to play.
Benefits of the beautiful hand dyed Papoose Toys Wooden Building Blocks...
Encourage creativity and imagination
A wooden block can become a house, castle, bridge, shop, boat or anything a child dreams up. Open-ended toys encourage children to invent their own stories and worlds rather than simply following a set of instructions.
Develop problem-solving skills
Building, balancing, stacking and rebuilding naturally introduce children to concepts such as stability, size, shape, weight and cause and effect. When a tower falls, children learn to try again and find a new solution.
Strengthen fine motor skills
Picking up, positioning, stacking and connecting pieces helps develop hand strength, dexterity, coordination and control—skills that support everyday tasks such as drawing, writing, dressing and using utensils.
Build hand-eye coordination
Children learn to judge distance, position and movement as they carefully place one piece on another or construct a particular shape.
Introduce early mathematical concepts
Without feeling like a lesson, blocks expose children to counting, sorting, comparing, patterns, symmetry, shapes, measurement and spatial relationships.
