Building Toys
The fun part of playing with building blocks is often watching your creation fall down. Adults helping kids build with blocks are sometimes exasperated by this, but the little ones see it as the greatest of fun. Toddlers will often have more fun knocking your creation down than watching or helping you in building it. Building a great creation then knocking it down again is all part of learning as well as fun to do.Playing with building blocks (and this applies to such things as Lego or Tinkertoys also) promotes eye-hand coordination, recognition of shapes and colors, and simple thinking as to which part will fit where. It all leads to future understanding of such things as centre of gravity and use of space.
The essence of building toys is the many different ways that children play with them. Some will spend hours building large projects exactly as shown in an instruction book. Others will build totally from their own ideas using their imagination to create their own unique project. Some may have arttistic talents which will be exhibited in the creation of artworks from blocks or Lego. Building toys are basic mind development tools, you might well say, as well as being fun to play with.
Mechanical building toys such as Erector and Meccano sets are preferred by kids who have talents in this direction. They love to build working models of machines of all kinds. They will build them from instruction books at first then go on to build their own mechanical inventions. Many a budding engineer,car designer or architect played with these toys as a kid.
Meccano and other such building toys promote life skills which will be valued throughout a lifetime.They promote design capabilities, mechanical concepts, and problem solving by trying different things to make a machine work. For chidren they promote manual dexterity, concentration and adaptabity to changing your ideas, to make your concept work the way you envisioned it. Self-esteem and confidence from planning your creation and seeing it through to completion are also involved.
Problem solving and resourcefulness from adapting and making changes when your plans don’t quite work
Concentration, patience and manual dexterity are strong features of these toys also.
