Homemade toys include fishing toys made of magnets and hard paper, dominoes made of wood blocks, beautifully decorated cartons, cans, paper rings and so on. Outdoor building materials are mainly cardboard boxes, water pipes, light bricks, bamboo tubes and beer barrels. There are also building blocks, plastic products, puzzles, pictures, sand, soil, water, snow and so on.
The function of building area is mainly manifested in the following points:
1, the construction area is conducive to promoting children's cognitive development. Children gain knowledge about the color, shape, size and spatial proportion of materials in the game, realize the interaction between their own actions and structural game materials, accumulate perceptual knowledge about the concepts of spatial orientation, combination, accumulation and arrangement, and enhance their understanding and understanding of quantity and graphics.
2. Building area is conducive to the development of children's non-intellectual factors: structural games are a complex and meticulous work, and works often need to be composed of several structural elements. Therefore, structured games are of great significance to cultivate children's qualities such as seriousness, patience, carefulness, persistence in overcoming difficulties, and division of labor and cooperation in completing tasks.
3. The building area is beneficial to children's physical development: children keep operating in structural games, which provides sufficient opportunities for children to develop perceptual motor skills. In the process of grasping, stacking, placing, splicing and sorting out small structural materials, children exercise small muscles and develop hand-eye coordination ability.
