I think one of the most universal toys that almost every child can remember playing with is building blocks for kids. It is also one of the most exciting first toys that we give our children because we can play with them and have fun building. The benefits of playing with blocks are numerous.

The Benefits Of Playing With Blocks

It is an undisputed fact that children learn through play. What are the specific benefits of playing with blocks? Well, that answer is quite lengthy because there are many! Building blocks for kids can be played with in many ways- they can be sorted, they can be using for building, they can be played with alone or in groups. Undoubtedly most kids will play with building blocks in every way possible and learn different things each time.

When kids sort, classify, measure, plan, build, and rebuild with blocks, they are exploring scientific and mathematical concepts. As kids manipulate the blocks, plan, and build, they are developing motor skills and hand-eye coordination. When the blocks come falling down they are learning to problem solve, spatial thinking skills, and perseverance. Children can also develop social and emotional skills as they imagine, create, interact, and clean up together. The best learning happens in this no pressure environment where they are naturally learning how things work through hands on play.

Because they have endless possibilities, building blocks are even fun for adults to play with their child. Building blocks are actually great at teaching social skills as well since it is one of the first toys that children can begin to share and build together. They are great for bringing together siblings in a project that the different ages can both find fun.

Building Blocks Sets For Kids

There are many types of building blocks for kids from the simple to the complex and unusual. I love natural building block sets that are sustainably made out of wood or cork. The texture of these natural blocks is just appealing both in the tactile and visual sense.

Large Building Blocks For Kids

Korxx building blocks for kids are a fun twist on the age old building bock concept. Korxx building blocks are designed by German mom entrepreneur Patricia Kuck and made from sustainable, renewable cork bark. Cork is a great material for building blocks for kids because it is a natural material free of any harmful contaminants and because cork provides excellent stability without slippage allowing buildings to be even more creative! Korxx are a quiet (when they fall), safe, eco-friendly alternative to conventional building blocks for kids. These large building blocks sets allow for endless creativity!
