From the moment we’re born, we start acquiring basic knowledge through the senses. It’s a survival mechanism that helps us adapt to the environment, and stimulating it right from the beginning has many benefits for our baby’s future.
In the first months of life, we’re like sponges, because it is in this stage that our brain has the greatest neuroplasticity, that is to say, different nervous connections are created to respond to stimuli.
If these stimuli are accompanied by emotions, all the knowledge we acquire will be recorded indelibly in our memory. Curiosity and emotion are the best allies for the natural learning recommended for this stage in life, and Building Blocks are your greatest helpers. Discover their benefits:
- Logical thinking.
Besides developing the sense of touch and proportions in space in the first months, building blocks will stimulate logical thinking as the baby grows.
- Fine motor skills.
Fine motor skills are what enable a person to make more precise and delicate movements. In order to fit blocks, pile them up or break them down, babies must control their movements.
- Greater concentration.
Babies are attracted to colours and shapes, which help them develop their capacity to concentrate.
- Early maths
Your little one will not recite the Two Times Table after a month of playing with building blocks, but you can be sure that the day you say to him: “pick up the cube” or “put these two there”, he’ll pick up the cube and put two things where you’ve told him to do so.
- Learning complex elements
Spatial concepts, such as in front of, behind, above, below… will encourage an expansion of the capacity of representation, analysis and the handling of different objects. So, as you can see, building blocks might appear simple at first glance, but they’re the perfect tool for stimulating a child’s learning from an early age and helping them in their development. A safe bet for learning while having fun!
