Research shows that children learn valuable skills through designing and building things, such as problem-solving, creativity, and task management. Construction helps children break down complex tasks, think critically, and work through multiple assembly steps, especially when dealing with intricate pieces like gears. As someone with an engineering background, I believe that construction is an essential part of every curriculum, both as a learning tool and as a way to understand the value of what’s been built.

For children who aren't interested in traditional construction kits, Bloco offers a unique alternative. With high-density foam and rotating connectors, Bloco allows children to build 3D models of animals like lizards, lions, and zebras. These kits come with detailed designs and can be combined to create even more intricate creatures. While some of the more complex models may be challenging for younger children, the process encourages perseverance and learning, making it a valuable tool for kids ages 4 to 12.
