Big blocks, little blocks, square blocks, round blocks...

Big blocks, little blocks, square blocks, round blocks, wood blocks, cardboard blocks - all kids love blocks! Blocks are a timeless gift that have been a favourite with children for centuries. 

Blocks are a classic "open ended toy" - there is no right way to build with them and the creative possiblilites are endless. They help children develop eye hand coordination, small muscle development, balance skills, problem solving skills, reasoning and mathematical thinking, undestanding of cause and effect, and learning about a wide range of concepts such as more, less, here, there, up, down, over, under, big, little, and on and on. Every preschool, every day care and every kindergarten has blocks for a reason.
