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 of the block shapes, the first building attempts present certain challenges. It’s necessary to get to know the possibilities of the “construction set,” which takes trial and time. The more solutions a child discovers, the higher the level they can achieve, creating spatial constructions of increasing complexity 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 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 keep trying but become discouraged after a while. Patience, determination, and concentration are qualities a child is still developing. Incastro blocks are an excellent tool for training these skills. They teach that effort is worthwhile, that goals can be achieved in several ways, and that at the end there is invaluable satisfaction from one’s own perseverance that makes success possible.
spatial imagination development – before a child starts building, they usually know the effect they want to achieve. With the symmetry of Incastro modules, that alone isn’t enough. The builder must plan how to connect pieces to reach the initially envisioned shape and turn small flat bricks into an enclosed space. A few hours of playing with Incastro blocks introduces spatial geometry that children often struggle with in math class.
fine motor skills – connecting small pieces requires finger dexterity. To build a cube, you must join several bricks 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 single tap brings the desired effect, developing children’s fine motor skills is becoming a challenge. Incastro blocks can be the answer — a durable, interesting, smart, and safe gift for a child of any age. Independently searching for building solutions while playing with Incastro bricks also strengthens a child’s positive self-concept.
