Building blocks and construction sets are of the oldest toys known to mankind. Children’s fascination with construction toys is just as intense as it was hundreds of years ago. Playing with building blocks helps with the development of many different skills such as discerning between different colors and shapes, mathematical skills concerning the size, relationships and the amount of blocks, spatial development and the development of small motor skills and eye-hand coordination. Once the child has reach age 2 they will also start using building blocks for imaginary play. Construction sets with gears, motors and components allowing the child to build something from scratch are invaluable toys for developing planning and creativity while teaching important concepts such as spatial relations, basics of mechanics and drive mechanisms. Construction toys are usually very popular with boys but it is important to expose girls to construction toys as well because of the important skills developed by these toys.
