Children, especially toddlers, are still developing their gross motor skills as well as fine motor skills. Gross motor skills involve bigger movements like jumping, running, or going up and down the stairs. Fine motor skills, on the other hand, make use of finer movements particularly of the hands. These include writing, tying the shoelaces, or stringing beads together.

Some kids develop these skills faster than other kids. The use of different educational toys, such as children’s building blocks, can improve a child’s small motor skills. Wooden blocks are particularly encouraged especially by educators. There are so many things children can create with blocks. Playing with these wooden toys also help children develop their imaginations.
