Children learn all kinds of skills while playing with blocks, including pre-math and science skills, laying the foundation for later S.T.E.A.M.education. Children learn: problem solving skills and creativity, fine motor skills, spatial relationships, visual perception, pre-math skills: 1 to 1 correspondence, sorting, seriation, patterning, classification, and counting, concepts of color, shape, smooth, hard, more, less, big, small, apart, together, stack, build, balance, function, stability, gravity, and the learning goes on and on…
