Build a Flower
Build a Flower is a thoughtfully designed educational game that invites children to explore the world of shapes through engaging, hands-on play. As they work through a variety of assignments, children naturally develop essential early learning skills, including observation, fine motor coordination, and spatial insight. By working through assignment cards, children learn how different shapes come together to form new composite shapes. Each task encourages them to consider the order and placement of pieces—which shape comes first, and which one fits next. These challenges are presented in the form of visual “sums,” where one shape added to another creates a new design, helping to build early mathematical reasoning and pattern recognition. This visual and tactile learning game assists to develop spatial orientation and fine motor skills. Ages 3yrs+
Key Educational Benefits:
- Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating the small wooden shapes and placing them onto the pegs requires precise hand movements, helping children develop their fine motor skills. This is crucial for tasks such as writing and buttoning shirts.
- Enhances spatial reasoning and shape recognition: Arranging the shapes on the pegs encourages children to think about space, size, and position, thereby improving their spatial awareness. This skill is foundational for understanding geometry and navigating the physical world. It also reenforces the names of shapes.
- Develops early math concepts through composition and decomposition: Through sorting and arranging the shapes, children are introduced to basic math concepts such as patterns, symmetry, and counting, laying the groundwork for future mathematical learning.
- Encourages communication and auditory processing
- Stimulates Creativity: The open-ended nature of the toy allows children to experiment with different combinations of shapes and colours, fostering creativity and imaginative thinking.
