All parents always would like their kids to grow well and
healthily, especially their intelligence development. Alongside providing
enough nutrient foods with Omega 3,
Omega 6, DHA, so forth and so
on, do you think that toys can help your kids to develop their intelligence?
Below are 3 kinds of toys that are able to promote the intelligence of your
kids. Let’s check if you have already had how many of them.
The jigsaw blocks
One study has even shown that if
a preschool aged child often plays with the puzzle blocks, he or she will have higher
math scores and the results of tests will be more excellent than the ones who
do not play with the jigsaw blocks when they are in secondary school. Sharon
MacDonald, an expert in the training of teachers, according to the early education
programs and also the author of the "Block Play", has explained:
"When children play with puzzle blocks, they will get knowledge of the fractions,
shapes and counting ".
The balls
Those jigsaw blocks are not the only
great toy for the development of your baby's intelligence. Even your babies are
able to follow a ball and stare their eyes while it is rolling on the floor
that can help much to promote their intelligence as well. As the explanation of
Maureen Maiocco, a director early education program at SUNY Canton, New York
(USA), the children "have to predict
the direction and position of the ball while it is rolling towards
him".
This way helps their eyes to
connect the little eye movement with the movement of the body. Moreover, the
prediction of the how long the ball is going to roll back will reinforce the
thinking that something out of sight does not mean it will disappear forever.
Stacking cups
Sometimes, between the birthday
of the 1 year old and 2 years old, the babies can set up the stack of cups in
different ways. Normally, the child does not rank them in order, but sooner
they will begin to understand the
relationship of size. Do not let your babies be under pressure to force him
to do the right way from the start. When they grow, they will realize more, if
the kids try to put a big cup in a small cup, the 2 cups will not fit together.
They are beginning to understand the right
order to sort correctly.
They may spend hours filling sand
or water into the cups and then pouring them out. As your babies gradually
notice the difference between the full cup and an empty cup, they will have the
first knowledge of the volume. They also will recognize that they can pour many
small cups of sand into the biggest cup, but when pouring sand from the biggest
cup into the smaller one, it will form a cascade.
