Learning Outcomes:
1. Discovery of the World (Cognitive Development):
Encourages exploration and understanding of geometric properties and spatial relationships as children engage with the building blocks. Through play, they experience and discover concepts such as shape, size, symmetry, and balance. The variety of shapes (triangles, cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and plates) provides opportunities for children to explore different geometric forms and their properties, fostering cognitive development.
2. Fine Motor Skills Development:
Enhances fine motor skills as children handle and manipulate the wooden blocks. They practice hand-eye coordination, grip strength, and precision movements while stacking, arranging, and building with the blocks. This promotes control, dexterity, and coordination of hand movements.
3. Social and Emotional Development:
Supports social interaction and cooperation as children engage in collaborative building activities with peers or in a group setting. For example, in a kindergarten setting, each child or group may choose a color and work together to build houses, fostering teamwork, communication, and cooperation.
4. Aesthetics and Creative Expression:
Stimulates creativity and imagination as children design and build structures using the colourful geometric blocks. They explore different combinations and arrangements, experiment with building techniques, and express their artistic vision, fostering creative expression and problem-solving abilities.
5. Numeracy:
Provides opportunities for children to develop early numeracy skills such as counting, sorting, and pattern recognition through activities like counting blocks, identifying shapes, and creating patterns or sequences with the blocks.
