Why Are Blocks Good for Kids?

Blocks are a game-changer because they provide children with many different ways to play. They build, they stack, and sometimes (often!) knock them over.

Children need toys that can be used in a variety of ways to continue their exploration into independence.

Blocks help your child learn hand-eye coordination as well as how to be a part of group play activities with other children–they can practice skills like sharing, turn taking, and dealing with frustration when something doesn’t go their way.
