The CONNETIX 80 Piece Pastel Ball Run combines the excitement of constructing a marble run with language and cognitive development in young children. Kids work together (or independently) to design and build structures with visible progress as they watch large marbles pass on by!
Constructing a marble run with gorgeous pastel colors of CONNETIX, is the best opportunity for working together with peers or caregivers. It naturally fosters communication and social interaction. Children practice using language to convey their ideas, describe their designs, and ask for help. They must also listen to others’ suggestions and follow instructions that help improve receptive language skills.
Children learn and use descriptive words such as “curved,” “straight,” “tall,” and “short” to describe the pieces and their constructions. They learn concepts and actions of gravity, speed, direction and balance through experiences during playtime.
CONNETIX also fosters cognitive development through problem-solving and spatial awareness. Kids are required to think critically as they plan and execute their designs. They learn through trial and error, which encourages strategic thinking, foresight and perseverance.
Building a marble run involves understanding and manipulating spatial relationships, which is crucial for cognitive development. Children develop a sense of how different pieces relate to each other in space, enhancing their spatial awareness and geometry skills. They must predict how the marble will move, which requires children to visualize the path and anticipate.
The CONNETIX 80 Piece Pastel Ball Run is a versatile educational toy that supports both language and cognitive development through engaging, hands-on play. By promoting communication, vocabulary expansion, problem-solving, spatial awareness, and creativity, this toy offers a well-rounded approach to early childhood development.
