One of the star gifts this Christmas will surely be the building and nesting games. Nothing like this kind of games to keep them entertained for hours. And the good thing about these toys is that they enhance areas of development such as sensory exploration, fine motor skills, coordination and spatial visual acuity, does anyone give more?
Here are some examples of fittings and constructions, magnificent gifts for this Christmas.
Squigz, the cupping game
It is not a well-known game here, but it is being one of the best sellers this Christmas at Amazon. The game contains different pieces of high quality colored silicone formed by one or several suction cups, so that we can join them together or glue them to almost any flat surface such as crystals, floors, tables, walls, grandfather's bald spot, etc. The suction cups take off make a very characteristic and fun sound, or so they count. You can find it in different packs, from the initiation about 21 euros to the professional or deluxe version for about 36 euros.
Gears, the game of a thousand gears
In this game, our children will have a good time not only assembling pieces but also can see how to move one of them, and assuming everything is placed correctly, the rest of the pieces placed are also moved. This way they can understand through the game how a mechanism works and how much fun it can be to connect all the pieces. Gears has been developed by the company Learning Resources specialized in this type of learning toys. You can find it in different packs and prices, from 5 to almost 80 euros that costs your work station
Twig
What is twin? Well, a game where the rules come from inside those little minds capable of imagining everything our little ones have. Impossible constructions, without rules, without norms. They can join the different pieces from different perspectives, join color, separate them, whatever your imagination dictates.
The 72 pieces of wood of the game are cut with precision, to avoid the jams that we always find when inserting some pieces in others. By not presenting forms to use, it encourages children's free play and that they themselves see where they can go.
You can find it for 30 euros on Amazon
