The benefits of children's building blocktoys


Building block toys play an important rolein children's intellectual development, and it is also a way to improvechildren's hand eye coordination. There are many ways to play building blocktoys, which can be arranged, jointed, circular and symmetrical, which arehelpful for children's intelligence. When playing building block toys, it isimportant for children to participate in proportion, symmetry and other issuesby themselves.


It is of great significance to the earlytraining of children's arithmetic.


1. Handle visual input through someactions. Good hand touch and eye coordination are also conducive to generalbody coordination and balance.


2. The exertion of creativity and imaginationcan promote children to try new ideas and help them gradually form a kind ofinnovative thinking and constantly find new ways to solve problems.


3. It is conducive to the development of"space intelligence". Children keep studying layout and structure inthe process of toy building blocks, which is helpful for them to master objectshape, distinguish space orientation, grasp two-dimensional andthree-dimensional space and its transformation.


4. Help children learn to draw conclusionsthrough reasoning, including mathematical, logical reasoning, scientificanalysis and other thinking forms. In the process of children's growth, thisability is needed for effective statistics, measurement, reasoning, induction,analysis, etc.


Skills of choosing and building block toys


Building block skills


Children themselves have the gene of art,the genetic gene of human openness. Building blocks can give full play tochildren's innate potential. However, whether the building blocks can play sucha function depends on whether the building blocks and playing methods youchoose are suitable for children.


6 months to 1 year old: at this stage, thebaby likes to grasp and will put the toy into his mouth at any time. It isbetter to choose building blocks with side length or diameter of at least 100px,which is convenient for small hands to grasp and prevent being swallowed by thebaby by mistake. Wood building blocks with bright contrast and strong color areconducive to stimulating the baby's interest.


1-1.5 years old: at this stage, the baby ismore flexible in grasping and is very interested in the nesting game of shapes,such as putting round blocks into the corresponding round holes. You can choosea plastic or rubber building block with a side length of about 10 cm. The edgeof the building block should be rounded to make it safer to fall. Note thatwooden building blocks should not be too large (5-200px), so as not to hurt thebaby. The number of building blocks is less than 20.


1.5 -2 years old: the baby starts to developthe cognitive ability of image or symbol thinking. The suitable building blocksare rectangular or square, which is convenient to stack into various shapes.Wooden building blocks should be 5-200px in size, and plastic building blocks canbe slightly larger. The number of building blocks is less than 20-40.


2-3 years old: at this time, the baby'sthinking and reasoning ability is enhanced. He can play building games throughbuilding blocks, and can give his baby bigger building blocks toys. He willpile up a "building" higher than himself, and then push them down.The number of building blocks can be increased to 60-80.


Over 3 years old: Children's analyticalreasoning ability is further strengthened. When they play with building blocks,they usually analyze them, such as where to put what shape and size of buildingblocks. Can give this stage of baby shape rich, colorful, variable size ofbuilding blocks toys, the number of blocks can be increased to 100.


Building skills


1. First, give the baby a correctdemonstration: build 2-4 blocks, and let him imitate it. In the process ofbuilding, praise him for every piece added, and let the baby fall in love withbuilding blocks with encouraging language.


2. First, use big blocks for the bottom,and then use smaller blocks or magnetic blocks in turn to ensure that he iseasy to succeed. In this way, the baby experiences happiness in success. Goodemotional stimulation promotes him to develop to a higher level of curiosity,and meets his need for success.


3. If the baby is not interested, you canbuild 2-3 blocks first, only let him build the last one. If necessary, let himbuild with his hands. After the building, praise him immediately and let himpush down as encouragement. =


4. You can also teach him first, thenchange to language guidance, and finally put forward the task: "building atall building".


5. After learning to build 3-4 blocks, itis crucial to consolidate the achievements in time and keep interest, which canbe cultivated correctly. Be sure to change the way your baby wants to play.


Block play


1. Building pagoda


Prepare a few square and round blocks forthe child, and teach him how to size high. Then place a triangular or conicalvolume of wood at the highest position as the roof. There should be at least 2playing blocks, from 2 to 3, 4, the number is increasing. Children willgradually understand that the more building blocks, the more complex objectsthey can build; the higher they build, the more likely they are to collapse. Inthe process of playing, the child knows that the big blocks are placed belowand the small blocks are placed above, so that the pagoda is not easy to falldown. Unconsciously, children understand the concept of how much, size, weight,height and so on.


2. Figure out


First, teach the child to know all kinds ofgeometric building blocks, such as circle, semicircle, triangle, rectangle,etc., and then you say a shape of building block, so that he can find outexactly from a pile of building blocks. You can also compete with children. Whocan you see? You can find it quickly and accurately. This can help childrenunderstand geometry, and it is also good for their observation and memory.


3, double


Pair two blocks of the same rectangle intoa square, two triangles into a square, two semicircles into a circle, etc. Thisgame can help children to understand the relationship between different graphsand the concepts of part and whole. And in the process of playing, childrenneed to use their eyes to see if different shapes of building blocks can beright, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of observation.


4. For numbers


Prepare a set of blocks marked withnumbers. You first code several blocks according to the number on the block,and then ask the child to put the corresponding number blocks on the blockaccording to the next number. If the building blocks are misplaced, or theoriginal building blocks are knocked down in the process of placing, it will beregarded as a loss. This game can help children understand the relationshipbetween numbers and make the children's concept of numbers clearer.


5. Whose building blocks are more


First, parents and children get equalnumber of blocks, and then play the game of "stone scissors cloth".Every time you play, the winning side gets a block from the other side. Afterplaying three times, count the number of blocks each side has. This game canmake children understand the difference between more and less, and have theinitial experience of addition and subtraction.


6. The building blocks fall


You put the blocks together. When theblocks reach a certain height, let the child push them down by hand. Childrenusually laugh when they see the building blocks fall down. Although this is avery simple game of "sabotage", it is an important activity forchildren to improve their spatial cognitive ability.


7. Winding path


Teach children to arrange long blocks in acertain interval, and then they can connect them into a winding path. Give thechild another toy car, and he can play along the "path", asking thathe'd better not touch the building blocks. This can exercise children's abilityto visually measure the space distance, and cultivate the three-dimensionalsense and hand eye coordination ability.


8. Bowling


First arrange the cylinder blocks ofdifferent colors into inverted triangles, then let the child leave a certaindistance, take a ball to roll towards the blocks, and knock them down. With thedevelopment of children's ability, distance can be increased gradually. Thisgame requires children to have a sense of direction, which is also helpful forimproving attention and physical coordination.


9. Domino


Arrange the blocks according to dominoes,and then knock down the block at the front or the back to enjoy the interestingscene of the blocks falling down in order. In the process of building blockplacement, children need to accurately judge the space distance, and requireaccurate hand movements and a high degree of concentration.
