Time Blocks Logical Thinking Game Time Blocks by T.C Timber (HABA) Wooden European Toys is an award winning game that can be played by the whole family! This educational learning game includes 100 logical puzzles with an image that must be replicated using the different wooden shapes available. But you have to hurry ... you only have a limited time and some of the configurations are extremely difficult to build.
Children will quickly learn to recognise shapes and colours and quick building will fine tune manual dexterity. Time blocks can be played competitively (using the timer) or everyone can just relax and play against themselves building the configurations reflected on the game cards. A great early learning game to develop and hone skills from logical thinking to dexterity and visual discrimination. Let's flip over the cards and let the fun begin!
Creative puzzles - the color of the rainbow in geometrical basic forms. Children get to explore all the creative possibilities the triangle provide them with the triangular mosaik puzzle. Colorful, chunky triangular puzzle pieces can be arranged in the triangular wooden tray or played with independently. Stimulate creative play, visual development and a feeling for color with this great wooden puzzle. This puzzle is made from durable hard wood in Germany. Finished with non-toxic paints and colors in all the colors of the rainbow.
Small Rhombus Magnetic Creative Puzzle Grimm's Magnetic Wooden Rhombus Puzzle (Raute) is a fun puzzle for the whole family. Beautiful wooden puzzle pieces featuring a beautiful rainbow of colors.
Grimms magnetic puzzles are like a living picture that can continually be re-arranged to make different shapes. In contrast to Grimm's solid wooden puzzles, which are laid out like blocks on a table, where you can feel the shape and form, the Magnetic Puzzle feels more like painting a picture. Just as the building blocks follow the laws of gravity the ease and lightness of the magnetic pieces is experienced.
The thin pieces of the wooden puzzle seem to move weightlessly in height and depth. A flowing dynamic movement through which the fantasy is animated. The magnetic frame needs to be placed upright, so that your own creative work is facing you. This way the child can experience the feeling of space - distant and near. These magnetic creative puzzles are great for encouraging and stimulating creative play. We recommend that this puzzle only be used for children from 4 years of age and up because of small parts.
Magnetic box for creative magnetic puzzles - 11.8 x 11.8 inches Grimm's Magnetic box measures 11.8 x 11.8. The magnetic box allows you to build your puzzle on the magnetic surface and then you can close the box and open it later for further play. Great for travelling. The magnetic box (magnetkoffer) is suitable for magnetic puzzles up to 11.4 inches in diameter.
Developmental benefits of Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates by GRIMM's Wooden European Toys: Apart from the obvious fun of building puzzles this activity is sure to develop several functions of the brain simultaneously. Most notably developed in this process are the abilities to reason, deduce, analyze, sequence and the development of logical thought and problem solving skills.
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates Lets look at the the skills applied and developed while building puzzles in more detail: * Cognitive skills: Problem solving, reasoning, seeing whole-part relationships,concentration and focus * Visual Acuity: The visual ability to resolve fine detail * Fine motor skills: Manipulating the pieces of the puzzle to make them fit, development of the pincher grasp * Hand-eye coordination: Being able to place or remove a piece in/from the puzzle without breaking the puzzle, manipulating the puzzle pieze to see if it fits * Recognise shape and size Puzzles help in the development of math and pre-reading skills by enhancing the ability of children to recognize shapes and sizes as well as the skills applied as discussed in the cognitive developmental skills above. * Social skills: Working in a team to finish a puzzle develops a lot of social skills at once, learning to ask for a particular piece to be passed, learning to handle frustration when a piece does not fit and the self-control needed to leave the puzzle alone between working on it
Guidelines and activities for selecting Puzzles and Brain Teasers for your toddler or child:
Age: 1 to 1.5 years
Simple wooden lift-out puzzles with big knobs that little fingers can grasp and manipulate with ease and matching pictures on the wooden base and puzzle piece are a great for introducing puzzles to babies and toddlers. Try choosing a puzzle that features pictures on a topic that interests your child - this not only helps them to match the puzzle piece to the correct space on the board but also provide something for the two of you to discuss while playing puzzle. Some wooden puzzles also comes with different textures on the puzzle pieces that enhances tactile stimulation.
Age: 1.5 to 2 years
Every child develops at his/her own pace - these are just guidelines and you are ultimately the judge of how difficult a puzzle is suitable for your child. The number of pieces or complexity of the puzzle picture your child can handle is not just determined by your child`s age but also by how often your child has been exposed to puzzle play. If your 3 year old has never played with a puzzle before then giving the child a 6 or 9 piece puzzle is only going to lead to a lot of tears and frustration. Give your child a chance to establish the basics of puzzle building by starting off with an easy puzzle with a simple picture and allow your child to set the pace for introducing puzzles with more pieces or more complex pictures.
Your toddler's first jigsaw puzzle should consist of 2 chunky puzzle pieces that have clear pictures and are easy for little hands to grasp and manipulate. When your toddler start building 2 piece puzzles with ease - start introducing puzzles with 3 and 4 piece puzzles.
Age: 2 to 3 years
Your 2 to 3 year old will most probably be able to manipulate puzzles from 3 or 4 pieces (2 year old) to 9 pieces (3 year old). Try and get progressive puzzles that are sold in a box set - usually the box contains one or more 4 piece, 6 piece and 9 piece puzzle. You can also introduce wooden puzzles without knobs and without pictures on the puzzle board so that they can start to match puzzle pieces based on shape and size (wooden puzzles) as opposed to pictures.
Age: 3 to 4 years
At around 3 years of age you can start introducing cube puzzles. Remember that every cube has 6 pictures on them - 6 possible matches. If you are just introducing cube puzzles start with a simple two cube puzzle that features clear easy to match pictures before progressing to something more complex. Your 3 year old will most probably be ready for a 9 piece puzzle and by the time your little one is 4 he/she can most probably handle a 20 piece puzzle with an easy uncluttered picture.
Age: 4 to 5 years
Your 4 to 5 year old would like puzzles that range from 24 pieces to around 49. If they have been playing with cube puzzles they may already be at the point where they enjoy playing with 12 cube puzzles.
Age: 5 to 18 years
Once your child is in school you can introduce cardboard puzzles and from here on the number of pieces does not play as big role as the complexity of the picture. Again - start with an easy clear picture with little fine detail and then your child can graduate to puzzles with more complex pictures and more detail.
The following developmental skills and benefits are encouraged by Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates learning toy:
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates develops Fine motor skills Fine motor skills involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, thumb, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, buttoning and speech. Fine motor abilities develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects, that develop into basic grasping and manipulation skills to more precise activities that involve precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards.
The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates develops Gross Motor Skills Gross Motor Skills are the movements of the large muscles of the body. Activities that use large muscle groups would be running, jumping, riding bikes.
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates develops problem solving/Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to learn, remember and solve problems.
The foundation for these abilities starts during infancy as the brain begins forming countless synapses, or connections, between brain or nerve cells. The brain is made up of neurons (nerve cells resembling long wires).
When a baby is born there are relatively few connections between the neurons, and it is you and your baby's primary task to make new ones. Connections (synapses) between brain cells are made when a baby receives stimulation. As you engage and responds to your baby, you are helping to activate the formation of synapses. The synapses will combine to form neural pathways, and the configuration of those pathways will determine the child's ability to learn, relate to people, manage emotions, and function in the world.
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates stimulates fantasy, imaginative play and role play
Cube Puzzle - 4 Hoek Wooden Puzzle with Templates stimulates Social Development Social Development is defined as a baby/child/person's ability to interact with others, including helping themselves and self-control.
