6. What blocks should I buy for my 1–2-year-olds?

The younger the child, the larger the blocks they play with due to lack of fine motor skills. Therefore, for 1–2-year-olds, we recommend playing with big wooden blocks or Mega blocks.

7. What blocks should I buy for my 2-4-year-olds?

For 2-4 year-olds, Mega, Duplo and BLOKS are good choices in terms of the size of the blocks and the abstract figurative nature of the scene integration. When it comes to developing rules and sequences, BLOKS is the most recommended because it contains some simple shapes with steps to help kids thrive on rules and sequences.

8. What blocks should I buy for my 4-6-year-olds?

For 4-6 year olds, BLOKS,LEGO and Keeppley are all suitable for them.

If you’ve already bought BLOKS, you don’t have to buy it again because it can be combined into a variety of scenes, from small to large scenes that blend well with 2-6 year olds.

If you want your child to challenge with smaller sized blocks to develop fine motor skills, Keeppley’s Season 3 block toys are recommended for 4-5 year olds, while the 4th season is for 6 year olds and up. Because the 4th season has more pieces and more complex scenes. Starting with a simple challenge is a better choice.

Yes, if you are not price sensitive, LEGO is also a good choice.

9. What should I consider first when choosing building block toys for my child?

Safety should be a top priority when choosing building block toys for young children. Here are some safety considerations to keep in mind:

  • Look for toys that are made from non-toxic materials and are free from harmful chemicals.
  • Avoid toys with small parts that can be a choking hazard for young children.
  • Make sure the toys are age-appropriate and do not have any sharp edges or corners that can cause injury.
  • Choose toys that are easy to clean and sanitize to prevent the spread of germs.
  • Check for any product recalls or safety warnings before purchasing.

11. How can I encourage children to build with blocks?

To encourage your child to play with toy blocks, you should provide blocks that are appropriate for their stage of block play and give them a sense of accomplishment in building. You can try the following strategies:

  1. Allow children to take the lead in their block play to express themselves and provide help when they need.
  2. Provide a variety of blocks: provide blocks of different sizes and shapes suitable for children’s play stages, with rounded corners and bright colors that are easy to assemble to engage them.
  3. Start with simple challenges: Begin with simple building challenges or ideas to inspire children’s creativity. Gradually increase the complexity of challenges as their skills and confidence grow.
  4. Guiding children through role-play: Children need to role-play in many scenarios and interacting with the scenes creates a sense of realism, which also makes it easier for them to remember the fun of playing with the blocks.
  5. Celebrate their creations: Celebrate and appreciate children’s block creations by taking pictures of them and their blocks and praising them for their designs. This positive reinforcement will boost their confidence and enthusiasm for further exploration.
