Today in the blue room we had castles and knights being created. The blue imagination playground is really fantastic for children's development as it...
Improves fine motor manipulation and strength: Kids have to learn how to move and manipulate various shaped objects, big and small, as well as have the fine motor control to “balance” them into place.
Enhances spatial awareness: Building toys help kids enhance their visual-spatial skills which is crucial for reading readiness.
Encourages thinking and reasoning: These skills are what make children become well-rounded, independent and successful adults!
Involves focus and patience: Children need to work slowly and carefully to be successful at creating their designs.
Sparks the imagination: Building toys allow children to create their own fantasy worlds and stories. Using the imagination boosts cognitive, academic, language and social growth.
Builds confidence: Once that masterpiece is finished, children are so proud of their accomplishments. It increases their belief in themselves.
Helps develop problem solving skills: When building, kids need to decide what will or won’t work. They have to think quickly and readjust designs when needed.
