What Are the Benefits of Building Block Games?.

Building blocks are usually cubic wood or plastic solid toys. Generally, each surface is decorated with letters or pictures, allowing different arrangements or building activities. There are various styles of building blocks, which can be assembled into houses and various animals. Usually such building blocks are also called puzzle wooden blocks.

Classic building block games mainly include wood block puzzle, giant wood jenga, tumbling tower blocks and dominoes wooden blocks.

Benefits of Building Block Games

Generally speaking, wood puzzle games help develop intelligence and train children's hand-eye coordination. The arrangement, joints, loops, symmetry, etc. in the building blocks are all good for children's intelligence.

When building a wooden block tower, children must involve issues such as proportions and symmetry, which is conducive to the early development of children's concept of number. Building blocks are conducive to children's imagination and use a variety of different types of building blocks to build real objects together.

Specifically, the benefits of building blocks are as follows:

1. Increase the attention span

When children start building blocks, they usually concentrate on it. They will spend a long time on the building blocks. The children build the giant wooden tower according to what they see and want, or build a ramp so that the toy car can reach the fortress directly.

In the long run, playing block games will allow children to continuously improve the limit of concentration and increase the overall range of attention.

2. Cooperate with others

It is best to let your child and other children build blocks together, which is more fun than playing alone. Moreover, children build building blocks together, and they will stimulate each other's inspiration, so they will play more seriously, which is also good for cultivating children's ability to get along with others.

Building structures together requires a lot of effort. In the process, children learned to share building blocks with others and reached a consensus on what to build and how to build.

3. Motor skills

When children move and manipulate mini wooden cubes and jumbo wood stacking blocks, they will stimulate fine motor abilities and gross motor skills. Fine movements are mainly related to the movement of fingers and hands. Gross motor skills refer to the large muscles responsible for large movements.

4. Scientific concepts

Children will understand some scientific concepts including gravity, weight, stability and balance when constructing and exploring building blocks.

For example, when learning the concept of causality, children discover the characteristics of objects and how they affect each other.

5. Mathematical concepts

Building blocks come in different shapes, sizes and lengths. Children can use building blocks to distinguish geometric shapes, such as cuboid, cube, and cylinder. Standard bricks have a certain size and proportion. Children can perceive the different shapes, proportions, sizes, thickness, height, length, etc. of the bricks in the process of fiddling. After understanding these basic concepts, building a tower is not as difficult as imagined.

6. Language development

Block games are an excellent opportunity for children to express and create vocabulary and language.

7. Solve the problem

Building with blocks is the best way to solve the problem. Almost everything a child constructs requires some degree of solution thinking.

8. Spatial perception

Building blocks from simple to complex will cultivate their spatial perception ability to a certain extent.
