About Mammutico blocks

Multifunctional blocks, creativity included

Mammutico blocks, manufactured in Poland, are a one of a kind solution to an age-old problem of creating a safe and challenging space in which both children and adults will be able to feel special.

Mammutico sets allow you to create a safe and challenging space to play. Big blocks have different shapes that allow you to freely and creatively combine them into simple or complex structures. Thanks to this, these blocks never get bored!

Contrary to traditional playgrounds, large and light Mammutico blocks, not only facilitate motor development, but also stimulate imagination and creativity. All in a form of fun!

Children can build their own worlds, learn to cooperate and solve problems on their own every day.

All Mammutico blocks are very pleasant to the touch and extremely light, which guarantees safety of use and has a positive effect on the quality and comfort of play.

Mammutico blocks are perfect for  playing outside, on the pitch, in the garden and inside buildings. They can also freely accompany  water play.

 

Developing competences

Mammutico blocks give a chance to safely and in various ways support a child's development, enriching their sensual, social and intellectual experiences.

Here is a list of the most important skills that children practice while playing freely with Mammutico blocks.

 1. COORDINATION 

 Thanks to the grip regulation, participation of both hands and the involvement of eyesight, the child stimulates visual-motor coordination and proprioception, i.e. the sense of orientation of the positioning of the body parts.

 

 2. CREATIVITY 

 The shapes of the blocks stimulate the imagination in various ways, especially since it is not always easy to build what we had in mind at the beginning :) Lack of instructions, tips and suggestions leaves the child free to play however they like.

 

 3. FINE MOTOR SKILLS  

 The various shapes of the blocks, their various sizes, friendly texture, and especially the elastic surface - these are the elements that have a great impact on the dexterity of hands and fingers!

 

4. PERCEPTIVENESS 

 Contrasting colours of blocks or protruding elements of the same colour, sensitize children’s visual system and exercise their perceptiveness.

 

 5. LOGICAL THINKING  

 Mammutico blocks, like any other puzzle, exercise logical thinking in children, allowing them to create planned elements. In the case of our bricks, however, there are no instructions, and the buildings can be both flat and spatial.

 

 6. COGNITIVE INTELLIGENCE  

 Non-obvious shapes of blocks and surprising structures support exercises in the ability to think effectively in unpredictable and uncertain situations. Children exercise the ability to use their own knowledge they have acquired so far.

 

Support for teamwork and social skills training

Playing with Mammutico blocks teaches cooperation, not competition.

Classes with the use of large blocks are ideal for class integration or tightening relationships among other groups of children. Such workshop is a perfect combination of fun and logical thinking, carried out while working together.

Children carry out topics and tasks suggested by the teacher. They work in a group, establishing an action plan and the various stages of construction. They independently assign themselves roles that they will play during the implementation of the task. They appoint leaders and performers. Putting the plan into action, is not only great fun, but also an important lesson in social relations.

Depending on the scenario determined by the instructors, classes with large blocks can be a daily training of social skills. During play, thanks to regularly repeated simple social behaviors, you can show children models of proper behaviour, which will be an example to follow, and later on, the basis for modification and use in various situations. Playing with large blocks is a great tool for this type of work, because it shapes the ability to play together.  

CLASSES USING LARGE BLOCKS WILL:

  • integrate a class or other group
  • strengthen relationships among children
  • exercise communication within the group and teamwork
  • support independent decision making
  • teach how to take responsibility for your own participation in activities
  • help you overcome your own limitations
  • pose new challenges for children
  • help identify group leaders
  • support the training of social skills

 

Forms and shapes

The blocks are intended for everyone over 1 year of age or from the moment when the toddler is able to grab a block and set it on the other. Our offer is aimed at children, but experience has shown that young people and adults are eager to play as well.

Our sets have several distinct forms that allow them to be freely and  creatively combined into simple or complex structures. We can choose from large waffles, circles, semicircles, flexible noodles as well as stable bricks and blocks of various sizes.

We divided the blocks into three categories in terms of size and into six categories in terms of purpose. Some of the sets are especially recommended for picnics or kindergartens, but there are also product lines that will work better in organized play, e.g. at workshops.

Choosing colours of Mammutico sets, it is a good idea to stick to the rule of big contrast – children love distinct colour combinations. Colours play an important role in life of each person. The research shows that colours which are dominant in the closest surroundings have an amazing influence on a child's emotional development. This concerns not only babies, but also older children.

COLOUR MATTERS

And this is how specific colours may influence children's behaviour when they are playing with our blocks.

Red - has the greatest influence on human psyche by increasing appetite. The use of this colour on big surfaces in rooms where children spend a lot of time is risky. On the other hand, properly selected accessories or elements help to keep them in a good mood, especially in autumn and winter. Red is a symbol of life!

Green - calms down, is relaxing for eyes and relieves stress. A proper amount of this colour in a room helps to concentrate.

Blue - this is a refreshing colour which gives an impression of coolness, but at the same time cleanliness. Blue colour lowers blood pressure and calms down. On the other hand, navy-blue shade makes it easier to focus one's attention. No wonder school uniforms are often navy blue.

Yellow - gives an impression of warmth and stimulates activity. It also brings a lot of energy and smile to a room!

Graphite - suggests discipline, independence and determination.

Gray - a calm and non-intrusive colour. As a colour of toys or blocks it helps children to focus on functionality and meaning of an object, not on its appearance.
