Good quality building blocks should be made of hardwood or non-toxic plastic materials, because these building blocks are not prone to cracks, dents, discoloration or fragmentation even after being used for a period of time. In addition, when playing with building blocks, it is necessary to supervise the baby, especially the older baby. Don't let him have the opportunity to use these building blocks as weapons to hurt himself or attack others.
Babies over 2 years old have developed their spatial concept, language, thinking and imagination, and their hand-eye coordination ability has also been enhanced, so they can do slightly more complicated things. At this time, mom and dad can enrich the shape of building blocks. For example, two semicircles form a perfect circle, and the length of two short building blocks is exactly equal to one long building block. This kind of building block can give the baby more creative and expressive space. In order to increase the baby's sense of accomplishment, you can also add some decorative building blocks, such as rectangular building blocks with windows and triangular building blocks with roof patterns, to increase the baby's interest in building blocks.
Building blocks can exercise the baby's spatial imagination and creativity, because the same building blocks can be put together into various shapes, and at the same time, it can also exercise the baby's observation, because they must learn to observe before they can express what they observe with building blocks in the process of playing. Building blocks are a kind of combined toys. From a single building block to a building block house is the relationship between parts and the whole. How to stack a small part into a complete structure and how to separate the part from the whole is very helpful to the baby's spatial thinking ability.
