40 Piece Mini Unit Bricks Architect Set - (Wood Building / Stacking Blocks - Toy for Kids & Children 3 Years & Up)

Descripción

Our 40 piece Architect Set of Mini Unit Bricks are a developmentally appropriate mathematical building system. Brick play promotes early mathematical thought and builds fine motor and cognitive skills in early learners. Our bricks are realistically textured to increase sensory awareness and hand-eye coordination. 100% Earth Friendly Unit Bricks are made of 100% sustainably grown, compressed wood (HDF). And by using the entire tree, roots and all-we strive to produce environmentally friendly products by reducing energy usage during production and creating minimal waste. We only use organic water-based color and non-formaldehyde glue. Unit Bricks contain zero plastics and are completely non-toxic. Unit Brick adheres to the dimensions devised by American social thinker and progressive educational reformer, Caroline Pratt. In 1914, Pratt took all of her educational knowledge and founded the City and Country School in Manhattan. The school is still flourishing today and follows Pratt's open-ended curriculum. In Pratt-inspired classrooms, mathematics are not taught while you sit at a desk, with just numbers on paper. And science? Not just a diagram of molecules. Pratt challenged teachers to provide real world applications when teaching classroom subjects. To us, this sounds like an educational environment every student should have the opportunity to experience. And they can by learning with block play. A key component to Pratt's curriculum was and still is play. When children are given a set of objects (if you're thinking blocks, you're right on track) with little guidelines and a license to experiment, we see their creativity and imaginations at work. Much of City and Country School's curriculum was based around Pratt's creation of wooden Unit Blocks. Pratt's Unit Blocks were not just a random collection of toys; there was a science behind their creation, based off of her observations of how kids actually play.
