Mammutico's small foam blocks Mini offer endless play possibilities. Their unique and varied shapes allow children to let their imaginations run wild. The key skills that come in handy for little ones when playing with these blocks are creativity and ingenuity. With blocks that come without instructions and don’t impose ready-made solutions, you can build practically anything.
Little builders need small blocks
However, there are children who, surrounded by interactive, light-up toys that activate with the push of a button, sometimes have trouble immediately immersing themselves in joyful play and building something from “Mini” according to a planned design and idea. In such cases, little ones often give up on playing, discouraged by failed attempts. At times like these, however, it’s not worth giving up. You must remember that every child is creative. Even if this ability has been somewhat dormant due to toys that previously didn’t require your child’s active involvement, this is a great opportunity to encourage your child to take action.
To encourage your child to continue playing in a creative and very useful way, join in the fun. Children are more willing to engage in play with their parents. Even the simplest shared activities with dad or mom bring them great joy. Little ones then feel heard, important, and appreciated. Knowing that a parent is right there helps the child feel more confident and at ease. Time spent with your little one also brings many benefits to the parents themselves. It will certainly help you get to know your child from the perspective their peers see them. How do they react to suggestions? Can they accept others’ ideas? How do they handle situations where they aren’t the only one influencing what happens? While playing together, you can also discover your child’s skills. It’s worth paying closer attention to this so that you can later help your little one in the areas where they struggle.
Safety First
Playing with parents has a huge impact on a child, who observes adults anyway. Unfortunately, not every parent knows how to play with their child. For some, free-play is a struggle; they feel uncomfortable in that role and can’t tap into their imagination. The good news is that even the simplest activities done together and time spent together are already of great value to both parties.
If you can’t get into free-play with building blocks Mammutico Mini, then besides building, you can use these blocks for many other things. Try thinking together about what the blocks can be used for and get started. We’ve found a few interesting ideas, but that’s just a drop in the ocean of possibilities! Our foam puzzles work great as a photo frame, a desk board, a cup coaster, or a treasure box. We’re also curious about your ideas!
