1. Puzzles can cultivate children's patience, observation and thinking. More than a thousand years ago, there were tangram puzzles in our country, which gradually evolved into intellectual games, so jigsaw puzzles are a very ancient intellectual game. Puzzles are about developing children's ability to be patient, thinking, and carefully observing the process of things. When the child first starts to play, the speed is generally relatively slow. If the child can't solve the puzzle for a while, the parents must not be impatient. They can assist and practice a few times, and the child can complete the puzzle independently. The difficulty of the puzzles is different, and parents can choose puzzles of different difficulty for their children to play step by step. 2. Ball games, improve children's athletic ability and coordination ability There are many types of balls, such as beach balls, table tennis, leather balls, basketball, football. The ball can exercise the whole body of the child, because there are many ways to play the ball. One or two-year-old children can choose a ball. Children can throw, pick up, throw, and toss the ball. By constantly throwing and picking up the ball, the child's waist, upper and lower body muscles have been exercised. Children after the age of three can practice racking, pitching, and kicking, and practice their sense of direction, coordination, and observation skills. Children's athletic ability can be well exercised. At the same time, the ball is also a good helper for children's social interaction. While playing with friends, it also exercises children's cooperation ability. 3. Building blocks, cultivate children's creativity, space ability and hands-on ability The building blocks are divided into wooden building blocks and interlocking building blocks. When the child is younger, it is recommended to choose wooden building blocks. After the age of three, you can choose interlocking building blocks, which children prefer. Today's building blocks are brightly colored, attracting children's attention and arousing their interest. In the process of building blocks and pushing blocks, the children exercised their hands-on ability, spatial imagination and creativity by constantly grasping, holding and building blocks. In the process of assembling building blocks, children need to coordinate their hands and brains, and exercise their hand-brain coordination ability. No matter how cold or hot the weather is, children can play with building blocks at home, which also reduces the time children spend watching TV and playing with their mobile phones. 4. Painting class, improve aesthetics and imagination Children are small, they don’t know words and can’t write. Painting has become a way for children to express their personality. It’s a child’s nature to paint. Drawing can exercise children's use and understanding of color, exercise children's hand, eye and brain coordination, and improve children's aesthetic ability. In the process of drawing, children need to draw what they see to exercise their memory and space ability. Painting toys provide a platform for children to play to their fullest. The paintings created by children are unique, cultivate children's self-confidence, and at the same time improve children's imagination and aesthetic ability. Toys are the most intimate partners of children. Choosing the right educational toys not only has entertainment functions, but also can develop children's intelligence and stimulate the development of children's hearing, vision and touch.
