School Age Children and Blocks
Blocks seem like a "boring" toy or even a waste of space. They are actually a great developmental toy for your young child and
can promote great learning opportunities as well. The process of holding the blocks and actually placing them on top of one another is a great development skill. It takes pinching of the fingers, developing muscles. It takes placing the blocks on one another which is eye-hand coordination. It also is a problem solving skill that enables your child to build and create which also promotes imagination.
Blocks can come in all different types. You can have small wooden blocks. You can have special kind of blocks or even construction toys that fit together in particular ways, making the thinking even more advanced. You can also have large blocks that children can build a house or castle out of where they can feel like it is life size. You can even have electronic blocks that do a certain motion or movement when placed together for your little scientist!
All of these types of toys are great for children of all ages. The younger children will play and stack and do that over and over again.

may seem like a weird combination but it is great for school age children to have the chance to build. You can also give them the finer block sets that require a little more skill when placing the blocks or straws together.
Blocks may not seem like a real exciting toy but when taken out here and there, they will foster some great learning opportunities both physically and mentally in your child. Give it a try and enjoy!
