-teach concepts of comparing and contrasting.
-aware of concepts of size, color, weight, quantity etc
-sharpen visual perception and comprehend abstract objects.
1) Pink Tower
consist of 10 pink cubes of different sizes and diameters. The child is supposed to build up a tower with the cubes starting from the largest to the smallest one. This activity encourage hand-eye coordination by preventing the tower from falling. It also helps the child to develop better perception in 3 dimension objects.
It took my 20 mths old boy around 5 tries before he could stack up all the cubes by himself
To side-track a little, when Reagan saw me trying to take his picture with my camera, he paused, stared at me a while, then suddenly did his signature "cute cute face" pose ! Whahahha my boy is so ADORABLE!
2) Knobbed Cylinders
consists of 4 blocks of cylinders different in size, height, depth and diameter. It can Improve fingers motor skill by handling the knobs of the cylinders and encourage them to observe the different variations for later Math that involve comparison and seriation.
3) Brown Stairs
consist of 10 brown wooden Prisms ,all of the same length but with different height and breadth.This activity helps to develop visual perception of dimension and understand the relationships between prisms. It also sets a foundation for later geometry and unit differences in Math.
