Blocks are a favorite toy for many children as they grow up. Blocks are a material toys, made up of different geometric shapes, and can be used for a variety of games.
A single block is meaningless, but when these blocks are combined, they can be transformed into a thousand different things, so they provide a wide world for children's imagination and can be a powerful way of promoting the development of creative thinking and developing children's creative abilities. Building blocks can not only exercise your baby's intelligence and hands-on skills but also grow your baby's imagination, which is essential for your baby.
Children love to play with blocks for three reasons:

Secondly, there are many different ways to play with blocks and they can be made into a variety of shapes. There are simple and complex ways to play with the blocks, so children can have fun with them.
Thirdly, the blocks are a 'zero to one process and a 'rebuild and knock down' process, which is particularly interesting for children of a certain age.

Children are often 'out of touch with reality when constructing their own creations. For example, the homes they construct may have palatial roofs in the animated world, kindergarten-style yards, or even rooms for small animals.
2. Develop your child's construction skills
By playing with blocks, children can start by only stacking or extending them, and then when they are older they can use the pieces to create various shapes, and in the process of mastering the blocks, their construction skills improve by leaps and bounds.

Children's imitation skills are developed by having them imitate their parents' block poses.
4. Developing the child's learning ability and willpower
By putting together blocks, the child not only exercises manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination but also lays a good foundation for future learning. Building blocks is a delicate task and therefore requires children to be careful, attentive, and determined to achieve
