Wooden Stacking Game Regarded As Fundamental Childhood Developmental Tool

By Odessa Edwards


Wooden stacking game is for toddlers to create a pass time activity and help them develop their creativity and motor skills. These are sometimes called nesting toys, loved by toddlers within the age bracket where they can sit and play on the open floor. Stacking games are basics in early childhood development with many benefits.

Blocks, as well as other items that can be efficiently stacked together, are usually intended for children between the ages of two and four, although there is no rule against older children playing with them as well. Young children have a habit of putting all sorts of things into their mouths, and therefore the size of blocks should be chosen carefully. A parent would not want their child to choke. Bigger items are also easier to hold by little hands. Plastic toys are readily available, but wood is a safer material for 'tasting'.

Toys are usually decorated in various ways. They could be of a natural or painted variety. Those that are painted could possibly cause nasal irritation to the child, especially if they are covered with oil-based paints. Remember as well, that paint could come off when the toy has been used quite often. There are no sharp edges on the usual things that are made for stacking purposes, which is an added advantage.

Block toys promote co-ordination between the eye and hands. The baby is directly involved in the processing of visual information and they process the information that guides the hand towards the output. Wooden toys are also attractive to the baby's eyes. The right finishing color on the toy will create excitement and motivate involvement with the end decision being to create a single object with the small pieces.

Colored blocks can also be used to teach the different colors to a baby. They usually have bright, attractive colors which are easy to recognize. You can play color matching games to assist with visual memory and color differentiation.

Going for or choosing sets of toys in five or more different sizes will assist the child in identifying and distinguishing the various dimensions, which is a great and important developmental tool. Children find it easier to sort the blocks into various shapes and colors if there are more sizes to choose from. This will assist the child in his or her developmental growth.

Direct hand activities are good in early childhood development. This will create a culture of curiosity in a creative and entertaining way for the child that will be beneficial later on. The sense of touch's the most important of all senses, and the earlier it develops, the better. This applies to the sense of sight as well as critical thinking which boosts creativity.

A wooden stacking game is a 'must' for every child. They are not usually very expensive, but regardless of their price, will be a valuable investment; a toy that will be played with for years, and that is educational. Baby stores online and offline sell a huge variety of games like these that promote good all-round progress in your child's abilities.
