Jem and Olive love playing with building blocks, not just square ones, but all sizes. Blocks are great educational toys because they allow your child to develop several important skills.
- Creative thinking
- Fine motor skills
- Reading and math skills
- Strategy development
- Social skills
- Problem Solving
My girls love making patterns with their blocks. Little did I know that this will help with reading and math skills. In fact, a study in the October 2007 issue of
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine reported that children who play with blocks average 15% higher on reading scores later in life.
