0-1 years old: colorful cloth blocks
Babies before the age of 1 have not yet formed the concept of space in the true sense. The standard polyhedron, the building blocks with a certain texture, and the mechanical principles are not very meaningful to them, so it is best to choose interesting building blocks. plug. For example, cloth building blocks are inserted together, which are soft, bright colors, and patterns such as animals or fruits, which can allow children to perceive colors, recognize objects, develop sense of touch, etc., and there is no need to worry about hard blocks bumping children. Of course, if such toys are not prepared, dolls, stuffed animals, books, etc. can also play these roles.
Remember: babies like to put everything they have in their mouths, so whether it is wooden blocks or cloth blocks, they must be safe and non-toxic.
1 to 2 years old: lightweight building blocks
The spatial awareness of older children is forming, and they will begin to grow taller. Even without the blocks, they like to pile everything together and watch it fall over happily. Since the child’s body control and hand-eye coordination are not very good during this period, it is necessary to choose lightweight building blocks to prevent the child from being injured when the building blocks collapse. The building blocks should not be too large, so that it is easy for children to grasp.
2 to 3 years old: Standard size blocks
Children over 2 years old have developed spatial concepts, language, thinking and imagination, and their hand movements and hand-eye coordination have been enhanced, and they can do slightly more complicated things. At this time, you can choose standard building blocks for him. For example, two semi-circles are exactly aligned to form a perfect circle, and the combined length of two short building blocks is exactly equal to a long building block, and so on. This kind of building blocks can give children more space for creativity and expression.
