Hubelino blocks are building blocks that help children come up with creative ideas on what they want to build and fulfill their fantasies by building what they envisioned in their mind. Building these toys require a lot of imagination. The building blocks vary in that they are made in reference to the children age bracket. Simpler blocks are for young children while the complex is for slightly older kids. The aim of this paper is to look at how building blocks help kids.
Helps in enhancing children’s creativity
Firstly, building blocks help kids to be creative. When they are building toys out of the blocks, they become creative in that the kid already has a picture of how he or she wants to build his or her toys. This enhances their long term memory as they will be able to remember what they have done even in school.
This creativity also brings to life creative ideas in that they can build something out of any material. The resultant outcome is that the kids have a solid learning foundation and can tackle difficult problems in school and in life.
Increases hand-eye coordination and motor skills
When building toys, the blocks increase the kids’ motor skills and hand-eye coordination. In the case of building Legos, kids can determine which block should be matched with the other. The vision of these kids is improved as they will be keen when building their toys from the blocks. They are able to tell the difference between the colors and decide whether they want to match the colors or not.
The muscles in their body are made flexible and strong due to the movement that is caused when building the toys. The hubelino toys ensure a solid foundation because they are made of durable materials.
Creates Independence
Lastly, building blocks create independence in kids. They learn how to survive on their own. This independence can in turn create social competent skills in kids as they can be relied upon even when they become adults. The engagement in building toy blocks may stimulate creative, divergent problem solving skills. Kids become creative thinkers as they learn how to come up with creative ideas that can benefit their development and even improve their school project work. Due to the absence of an adult help in building the toys from the blocks, kids tend to develop better problem solving skills. They learn to understand a situation before reacting to it in order to make the right decisions. This reduces the conflicts that may arise among children due to misunderstanding a situation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, hubelino blocks have an advantage of helping in the brain development of a child. Children who build toys using building blocks tend to be good in mathematics and engineering. They also learn to be patient in life as when they outcome does not match what they had in mind, they can try again and not get angry or give up until they get the desired results. Children also turn into responsible adults as they develop social and competence skills that will help them relate well with others.
