They maybe not as technologically advanced and visually appealing like the iPad or tablets, but building blocks and other construction toys are the best developmental games for kids to really learn in a practical and hands-on way. Apart from being inexpensive, it is also one of the best investments you can make for your child.
Block Building games and Lego have tons of advantages such as:
1) They are Engaging to the Child:
Building blocks and Lego are really engaging and keep a child focused and with something productive to do for a long time. As time goes on, children also would like to complete what they started, so they generally do not leave them unfinished, which is really helpful in the future for school, as they tend to complete things, rather then leave it unfinished.
2) Problem Solving:
While playing such games, where you need to build things, problems always arise somehow or the other, and children tend to tackle them, which tremendously increases their way of thinking and problem solving capabilities.
3) The Power of Creativity:
Building blocks are colorful, have different shapes and sizes and are really simple to use. It creates a world of imagination for kids and since there is no specific way to play, the possibilities are endless. You give the same Lego blocks, to two different kids, and one may have made a ship while the other, a rocket. These amazing games help build up a child's mind and innovation.
4) Builds Frustration Tolerance:
"It ain't about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward."
Sooner or later in life, a time comes, where we tried, but failed. Whether its a small or large failure, a mistake or not, everyone fails at something or the other at least once in their life. Games like Lego often lead to failure and it teaches children to accept it and work harder and get it done the next time, without any help. One of the most important lessons in life has to be, to get up when you have fallen down.
These are some of the reasons, among many, why children should be introduced to the imaginative world of building blocks.
