The set teaches children:
logical thinking — 4 blocks can be connected in up to 16 ways, so you need to choose the one that opens the path to the intended shape.
patience — due to the complexity level of the block shape, the first building attempts present certain difficulties. It’s necessary to discover the possibilities of the “set,” which takes trial and time. However, the more solutions a child discovers, the higher the level they will reach, creating spatial constructions that become increasingly complex over time. In many projects, Incastro bricks also show that what seems simple may not be simple at all.
perseverance in pursuing a goal — when a child starts playing with the blocks, they usually don’t want to begin with the basics. They want big, spectacular builds right away. Without prior experience, this often ends in failure. Some children give up; others try but get discouraged after a while. Patience, determination, and concentration are qualities a child is still developing. Incastro blocks are an excellent tool for training them. They teach that effort is worthwhile, that goals can be achieved in several ways, and that in the end there is invaluable satisfaction from one’s own perseverance that makes reaching the goal possible.
spatial imagination — before building, a child usually knows the effect they want to achieve. With the symmetry of Incastro modules, that alone is not enough. The builder must plan how to connect the pieces to achieve the shape imagined at the start and to turn small flat blocks into an enclosed space. A few hours of play with Incastro blocks introduces the spatial geometry children so often struggle with in math class.
fine motor skills — connecting small pieces requires finger dexterity. To build a cube, you need to join several blocks at different angles; to build an arch, you must bend a flat surface so the angle between all pieces is the same. In a world of touch devices where a simple tap produces the desired effect, developing children’s fine motor skills is becoming a challenge. Incastro blocks can be a solution — a durable, interesting, clever, and safe gift for a child of any age. Independently seeking construction solutions while playing with Incastro bricks also strengthens a child’s positive self-image.
