Building Blocks are essentially the first step in the child’s learning curve and growth and development process. The basic objective of these blocks is to enhance and stimulate the various processes and parts of the brain that children in the later lives will benefit from exponentially. As such, one of the major steps in these building blocks is to offer the child a chance to step away from norms and make structures and shapes that are unique and extremely creative. Although the child is given the final image which can be created with a specific set of blocks, these blocks also offer children the flexibility to be able to design anything that they can conjure through their imaginations.  

Also, since these blocks are varied in their sizes and designs, they can also be mixed and used with other sets in order to further the limitless possibilities of designs and structures and shapes.

On the whole it can be said that these Building Blocks help the child in understanding the process of creation and building and also develop the patience and concentration levels of the child to unprecedented levels. As such, there are several types of designs and structures that are sold throughout markets. A good development process would be to start of the child with simple and basic Building Blocks which are very big in size and easy to use and then keep on decreasing the sizes of the blocks while increasing the overall size of the project.

This allows the child to first gain a foothold with the creative and constructive processes and the subsequent variations and changes will enhance his foothold into a firm grip. This also serves the purpose of safety. One of the major concerns of any parent whose child is playing with these Building Blocks is that the child may accidentally swallow one of the pieces as he/she may not understand the adverse effects of doing so. If the Building Blocks provided to the child in the initial days are big, they will not fit into the mouth of the little one and therefore makes it safe for the child to play. As the child develops and grows, he/she may begin to understand the effects of swallowing these blocks and therefore will not indulge in such activities. These blocks may be made of wood, plastic and other such non toxic materials and as such, they are extremely safe to play with.
