Are Blocks Good Toddlers Toys?
Wood or Plastic Blocks?
Blocks are one of the very first toddlers toys that most, if not all, children play with. The question that most parents have is whether to buy wooden or plastic blocks for their child. This is a question that most family members and friends will have too. You want to remember that the child's age is the best guide to use when looking at the blocks in the toddlers toys section of the store or the catalogue. If you want to get the traditional wooden blocks you might be better of waiting until the child is three or four years old. Plastic blocks have been the best for younger children as they like to put everything in their mouths. Plastic blocks have become the toughest of all toddlers toys on the market today. Considering that younger children who are teething like to put everything in their mouths and chew on it, plastic blocks are the better choice for one main reason; no chance of them getting wood splinters in their mouths.
My Child Loves To Build Things
When your kids get to the building stage, there are no better toddlers toys than a good set of wooden building blocks. Do you remember playing with Lincoln Logs and/or Tinker Toys when you were younger? Most of us do. While Lincoln Logs may not be around any longer, Tinker Toys still are. As are other types of wooden building block sets such as the Medieval Castle Building Set. There are also different types of building sets for those who like playing with dominoes or marbles that are also toddlers toys. The four and five year olds will enjoy the Domino Race Play Sets and Kugelbahn Marble Track Construction Set due to the exciting, fast-paced action.
Choosing The Best Size Blocks for your child
The next question is always going to be what size blocks are the best to buy? That actually depends on how old your child is and what level they are at developmentally. Very young children need the larger, easier to handle blocks. The older children will be able to handle the smaller blocks easier because their dexterity to better then. You may end up spending several hours looking in the toddlers toys section just enjoying the selection or simply trying to find what you want.
Just a Toy?
This is something that many people may not think about right away. Most of the time parent and other adults only think of blocks as mere toddlers toys; but there are some types of wooden blocks that have become collector's items over time. The problem with time is that the wooden block will fall apart or rot over time unless they are preserved the right way. The main thing here is that the kids do not care if their blocks will become a collector's item in time; they only care that they can have fun with those blocks, that they can build castles with them and that they can teeth and bite on the blocks. They just want to have fun with those blocks right now.
