Building blocks for baby and kids - Creative toys from 6 months.

When babies are around 6-12 months, they start to develop an interest in shapes, colours and things that go together. Fine motor skills in particular need to be challenged, so that the child can make connections between different toys and wants to be creative. Age-appropriate building blocks or stacking blocks, among other things, allow for fun and imaginative moments where the child learns to both assemble and destroy at the same time. Or build high and then knock the blocks down again. It is also a toy that the whole family can gather around, allowing for quality time together. At the same time, the building blocks can be taken with you wherever you go, as it is easy to just pack up in a bag.
