Advantages Of The Wooden Stacking Game

By Eula Nichols


Toddlers love to keep themselves busy with the wooden stacking game. They do not only play these games to be busy but they have come to love the activity very much. They are able to develop some skills that are helpful even in latter days of their lives. As a child involves himself in this activity, his brain is able to develop and the activity can be seen as a great developmental tool for him. It might seem like a mere game but the role it plays cannot be undermined.

Blocks and other items that have the ability to be effectively stacked together are mostly designed for children aged two to four years old. They are however usable even for other children who may be older or younger than this age. Parents must carefully choose the sizes of the stacks since children will put just about anything into their mouths. No parent would want their child to choke on the tiny items meant for fun.

The decorations are also different for various toys. There are those that are just naturally colored which are made of wood and these are deemed to be safer than their counterparts which have to be manually painted to look nice. The problem comes especially where the products used in the painting of these items are oil based.one should take note that the coloring made to the toys may start getting off after some time of play.

The games play a great role in coordinating the hands of the child with his sight. He visualizes what he is able to see and then processes that information so that he can direct his hands to the exact location of the object he sees. Color is another great aspect that helps the kid to differentiate different stacks and be able to form one complete image. As much as it excites the kid to do this, the activity is usually very educative for him.

It is these different colors on the blocks that determine the overall performance of the child in differentiating colors. A toddler can easily tell that a certain color is bright while another is dull. This knowledge continues to expand as he plays with more colors and solves more puzzles with the stacks.

Differentiating the sizes of these wooden blocks is another important feature for the kid. When the toys range from different sizes, the child is able to make comparisons of the sizes which help his ability to distinguish different sizes. A toy set that enables the child to sort the stacks into different sizes, shapes and colors is very good for him.

The activities that the child does using his hands in his early stages influence his latter stages in life. They are mostly activities that the kid finds as fun. Children who continue to take interest in these kinds of games tend to be very creative.

A wooden stacking game acts as a benefit to every child. Baby stores that can be found online or offline have a wide variety of such games. They are not expensive and parents should not deny their children off this opportunity.
