This set of plastic magnetic building cubes includes 64 pieces and is great for teaching the children all about magnets as well as building and fitting in a fun and hands on way. Each block features a different coloured side that all connect together to create wonderful 3D shapes and designs. The flat sides make them easy to build on top of each other and they can create everything from letters and numbers to buildings and bridges.
The plastic cube pieces are comfortable for the children to handle and they are also easy to clean to prevent the spread of germs. Being plastic means they can also take a lot of wear and tear while still maintaining their shape and functionality. Each of the pieces come in red, blue, red, yellow, green, orange and purple colours for the children to experiment with such as building with all one colour on one side or mixing the colours together. This set is great for STEM based learning and is great to use with other STEM and construction resources.
Construction cubes and resources help to promote a variety of cognitive and physical skills. Construction and manipulative resources promote both fine motor and gross motor development. They encourage problem solving and logical thinking to solve issues such as balancing blocks, where the next piece goes and how to make the structure that they want to build. Team work is also a key feature in the use of construction resources. Children can work together to design and build intricate and thoughtful structures using their creativity, imagination and logical thinking. Social, communication and language skills are all improved through playing with construction resources. Children build perseverance as they build their constructions. Play encourages creativity, imagination, perseverance and the development of language and social skills. Children become more confident and develop a stronger sense of identity through play.
