Constructor for your baby

It's known that kids learn through games. Therefore, parents try to buy not only beautiful and high-quality toys but also for developing. One of the most common Smart games is a constructor. Although there are lots of various interactive toys, the favorite constructor is always in first place!

When can parents buy the first constructor for their kids? Of course, it is not easy to give a precise answer to this question. Kids are very different: in character, temperament, and even in their physical abilities. Therefore, remember, buying a constructor for kids you should first take into account his/her needs and opportunities. When your child already sits well, that is, at the age of 6 – 8 months, he/she is most likely ready to be engaged in new activities: connect, collect and arrange.

The more your baby plays with the constructor and trains, the better and more confident become his/her movements. At this time the baby needs a constructor with fewer and smaller details, for him/her to hold them easily. This may be block cubes that kids like to add one to the other, building towers. And no need to get upset if, immediately after construction, your kid breaks the hard-built house.

First, you need to familiarize your child with a new toy. Let him/her handle one piece, and arrange the remaining parts around him/her. Tell your kid what material it is made of, what color is his/her piece, and what color are pieces on the floor. Then show the child that placing one cube on another or connecting one to another he/she can build something. But don't expect that your child will begin to build and skillfully use the toy at once! The period between introduction and when he/she starts to consciously build something can last even several months.

Another option of constructor toys may be special kits for kids which consist of two magnetic blocks that need to be connected with each other. But in such a constructor, the child would make little effort to separate the details. This toy can also be difficult for some children who are under the age of one year.

Generally, you should choose the simplest construction for children up to three years. Having more complex and dense constructor child can quickly lose interest in the obscure and complicated toy. Remember, it’s very important not to buy toys taking into consideration only the age of the child. No matter how controversial it may sound, but this is a statement. It is better to give preference to those games, which your kid will be able to learn using right now.
