Mammutico® construction blocks stimulate children's development at school.

Every year, every month and even every day brings new challenges for the school. It is the responsibility of the management and teaching staff to support the emotional and social development of children, develop basic skills, stimulate curiosity and motivation for learning, create a safe and friendly environment, and much, much more.

School directors strive to provide the best possible tools to achieve the above.

One of the tools supporting the achievement of goals facing school education today are large, construction blocks, which, thanks to various sets, are adapted to age. Mammutico blocks open the door to a completely new form of classes and play. They are a proposal for both younger children and young teenagers.

Social and emotional development

Playing together with foam blocks Mammutico® encourages children to cooperate. To construct bridges, vehicles, entire cities and all kinds of structures of varying complexity, cooperation and good communication are necessary. Students therefore have an excellent opportunity to build relationships and develop social skills.

In the opinion of specialist Joanna Zaręba, a child and youth psychologist, "Another advantage of blocks is that they are "quiet" during play. While more and more children complain about overstimulation with noise (especially in school clubs), playing with large and light blocks seems to be calming. These blocks make practically no noise, even when a tall structure falls to the floor."

Mental development

Mammutico blocks offer endless possibilities for conducting classes in which children will develop basic cognitive skills, logical thinking, and spatial imagination. The blocks are used in early education, as well as during physics, geography, or biology lessons. Through experiments, children learn about basic physical phenomena, such as understanding rotational motion and centrifugal force. And during technical classes, they are great for learning the principles of road traffic. Mammutico blocks are used in STEAM education, so together in an inclusive environment, children gradually learn the basics of STEM subjects. By arranging, connecting, and disassembling structures, they develop their manual skills and creativity.

Each set comes with lesson and play scenarios. They are an excellent support or simply inspiration for teachers.

First a plan, then building, and finally testing your own constructions!

Mammutico blocks allow for experimenting with real objects. And that's the best way to learn about the principles of the world around us. Students can ride in a self-built vehicle, build an igloo and enter it with even a few people, create a gear or a National Stadium. They check how it feels to walk on self-made stilts and what happens to the body when a vehicle built by them personally stops. Mammutico® blocks provide this unique opportunity to test their own constructions. Small blocks or ready-made toys cannot offer that.

Some lines of Mammutico blocks require thinking and brainstorming. Even building a house is not always obvious!

Playing with the Mammutico Perfect block set is a great way to develop future competencies in children! The ability to conduct analysis, critical thinking, and above all cooperation, are key among them. Perfect block classes help children acquire them in an inspiring way. And the sense of self-worth grows when you can build a triumphal arch or a motor!

Safety

One of the most important aspects that educational institutions and parents pay attention to is safety. Mammutico® foam blocks have a certificate in the form of a declaration of conformity, confirming that they are safe for children. They are made of Mammutico Foam® foam, which has been tested by Polish and international laboratories. The blocks have all necessary certificates and comply with European and Polish safety standards¹.

In addition, they are extremely lightweight, making them easy for even the smallest children to carry.

Durability

Mammutico® is characterized by its high durability. They can withstand intense use, which is extremely important from the perspective of educational institution budgets. It is an investment that brings long-term benefits. Mammutico® blocks are waterproof and can be used outdoors and in the classroom.
