Blocks,games, creative toys - when to introduce them?
Many parents wonder what is the most appropriate age to start taming their child with creative toys. It is extremely important to stimulate our child's development from an early age. Via blocks, games and play, our child is able to gradually explore the world around him, learning important skills. While playing with blocks does an excellent job in this role, allowing the child to develop on many different levels, parents and caregivers are often concerned about safety issues. This is fully justified. A one-year-old child does not know how to use toys, so he often throws them or tries to put them in his mouth - this is the natural order of things. Despite this, the child should not be deprived of fun, because over time he will learn to use the toys for their intended purpose. The first blocks can be bought as early as around the first year of a child's life, but there is no rule for when is the most appropriate time to buy the first set.What issues to pay attention to when choosing?
Toys for the youngest should be large and soft enough so that the child is not able to swallow them, and therefore models containing small parts should be excluded. Most of the available models of blocks is designed for children over the age of two, but some of the sets are also suitable for younger users. Looking for the most suitable blocks for our kid, it is worth reaching for large blocks made of soft materials, such as rubber or foam - then we will be sure that they will be safe for the toddler.

By selecting blocks according to the manufacturer's recommendations, we will avoid a situation in which the toy could prove unsuitable for our child. It is also worth making sure that the pads we choose have the necessary approvals. This is especially important for plastic toys - products of unknown origin may contain toxic phthalates, and can easily break, posing a risk that the child will injure himself during play.
