A Wooden Stacking Game For Mental Development

By Odessa Edwards


Wooden stacking game is for toddlers to create a pass time activity and help them develop their creativity and motor skills. These are sometimes called nesting toys, loved by toddlers within the age bracket where they can sit and play on the open floor. Stacking games are basics in early childhood development with many benefits.

Blocks, as well as other items that can be efficiently stacked together, are usually intended for children between the ages of two and four, although there is no rule against older children playing with them as well. Young children have a habit of putting all sorts of things into their mouths, and therefore the size of blocks should be chosen carefully. A parent would not want their child to choke. Bigger items are also easier to hold by little hands. Plastic toys are readily available, but wood is a safer material for 'tasting'.

Apart from chewing, block are safe for the child base on possible sharp edges, the colors used for painting and if they can cause irritation for the child. Inhaling fumes from oil based pains will irritate your child and cause nasal problems. The nature of the color used is considered before buying a set of toys.

Block toys promote co-ordination between the eye and hands. The baby is directly involved in the processing of visual information and they process the information that guides the hand towards the output. Wooden toys are also attractive to the baby's eyes. The right finishing color on the toy will create excitement and motivate involvement with the end decision being to create a single object with the small pieces.

Also, colored blocks of different colors help in color differentiation in the early stages of your child's brain development. These toys are in bright colors that the child can distinguish easily. Matching these colors during assembly helps the child's visual memory and the child can distinguish between colors.

Knowing the difference between different sizes of the wooden block is also important for the child. A set of toys with 5 different sizes is preferable, where the child can know how to distinguish from one size in comparison to the other. The toy set can come as a shape sequence set where the child sorts the blocks in different shapes, colors, and sizes. This kind of set is superb for the child's development.

Direct hand activities are good in early childhood development. This will create a culture of curiosity in a creative and entertaining way for the child that will be beneficial later on. The sense of touch's the most important of all senses, and the earlier it develops, the better. This applies to the sense of sight as well as critical thinking which boosts creativity.

A wooden stacking game is a 'must' for every child. They are not usually very expensive, but regardless of their price, will be a valuable investment; a toy that will be played with for years, and that is educational. Baby stores online and offline sell a huge variety of games like these that promote good all-round progress in your child's abilities.
