Building blocks are one of the simplest, most classic toys around. They're a pile of colorful rectangular shapes that can be stacked into towers, houses, castles - anything a child's imagination can come up with. But for all their simplicity, there's something truly magical about building blocks. They allow children to create and experiment in ways that other toys don't; with blocks, there are no wrong answers. Each tower is its own unique work of art, and even when they tumble down, the child can simply rebuild them into something new. Blocks teach problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination as well as creativity and spatial awareness. They help children develop an understanding of balance and gravity, and encourage trial and error experimentation. Most importantly, they provide an opportunity for kids to use their imaginations to build whatever they can dream up. Whether it's a simple tower or an elaborate palace fit for a king, block play is always full of possibilities. Magnetic Blocks Magnetic blocks are one of the most popular toys for children.
