My son has been building things since he was tiny. He has autism, so I was always happy to see him concentrate on his creation. He would always get excited when he'd get new brick building toys.
I've always liked brick toys, because they do so much for kids with special needs like the following:
1. It works on their fine motor skills. My son has always had issues with this, so handling bricks and sticking them together was a big plus. I always liked for him to find fun ways to help with his fine motor skills.
2. It gives them a goal. My son would get large sets, and the goal would be to build them up with the instruction book. He would always be thrilled when he completed his creation. Once he built a gigantic helicopter! It took him like three hours and yeah, there were tears, but he finally finished. I love that he can learn through playing.
3. The bricks keep them busy. We all like quiet time! But the quiet time is a plus, because the kids are also learning. There are many different activities and things to build with brick sets. Plus, it can be a fun bonding experience with your child. My husband enjoyed helping our son put things together.
4. It builds their confidence. When they are able to finish a project, they can feel accomplished. Life isn't always easy for kids with special needs, but this shows them that yes, they can complete a project if they put forth the effort.
There are so many benefits to hands on learning. If you're looking to build confidence in your child, check out Snapology. Snapology is a partner for STEAM programs, and as you know, STEAM is important for kids. Snapology offers year round programs in schools, homes, community facilities, and discovery centers. (Check to see if there's one near you!)
Even better? You can join the Snapology franchise! It's a huge benefit, because you can be your own boss and excite your community. It's always wonderful when you can find programs that help kids with special needs. I know I'm always looking for ways to keep my son busy. The list of things that he enjoys is pretty small, but I know if I find a brick building area that he'll be good to go.
If you start a Snapology franchise, it's going to be a huge hit, because Snapology is used for so many things: camps, workshops, playdates, scouting events, anti-bullying programs, corporate team building, birthday parties....the list goes on and on!
I know my kids will always love their brick toys. Even though they are older, they'll still drag out the bin and make different things.
So what are you waiting for? Start a Snapology franchise today!
Do your kids like building things?
I had never heard of Snapology, but I will definitely check it out. My son is also on the spectrum and Legos were always a huge hit for him (as were larger blocks when he was smaller). He is 13 now and doing so well. Best of luck to you. I get it!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how everyday items are being used to enrich people's lives. It's even better when it's something you can do to fund your family.
ReplyDeleteAaw! This is so sweet! It's so nice when you see your kid so confident and feeling like a hero for building up the bricks. This just reminds me when my young brother was smaller. Anyway, such a pretty baby and with Snapology, you know what's best for the kid.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great company!
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear about this project before but it sounds great! I think that building with blocks is beneficial for any child, and reading your points I can understand how it's so vital for children with autism.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like this has been a really great help to your son and has in the past helped him grown in confidence :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I love the idea of being a part of something that helps kids and helps us at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI had all my brother's hand me down toys, so I got his block toys as well. While my friends were playing dress up, I was all about the blocks :p
ReplyDeleteI think all kids should play with them growing up!
I've never heard of Snapology, this looks fantastic! My kids love building things. We have Tegu and they love wooden tanagram puzzles.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome company! I think building blocks can help kids of every need! I was never super into them as a kid though . . . I liked showing creativity through arts more.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this opportunity. Building things is a great exercise for all kids. My son always loved his Legos.
ReplyDeleteSnapology!? I've never heard of that! Sounds like an amazing toy with many benefits. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I've not heard of it before either but it seems like such a lovely thing for kids to build with.
DeleteThese blocks were my boys favorite toy when they were little. They now like the smaller ones and have way too many.
ReplyDeleteMy boys love legos and brick things. They also love rubix and snake cubes. Maybe they'll grow up to be archaeologists or something. I agree with bricks being great for building up fine motor skills. It definitely helps the brain in many ways.
ReplyDeleteSnapology sounds awesome! Definitely looking into it and hope there's one near me!

ReplyDeleteGrowing up, when we our parents did not have ipads and smartphones to keep up occupied, my favorite toy was building block. I believe it helped me open my mind, get creative and stay busy all day. I would encourage parents to dedicate a time for their kids and control tech time and other activities.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were kids I loved playing with Lego. So much so that with my first salary I bought a big set of Lego. I feel kids of today need a bit of hands on activities like these.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful form of edu-tainment for all kids. And as you point out, for kids with special needs. Love.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this brand but I am sure they will be a hit. I loved toys when I was little that didn't require you to follow instructions. Meanwhile my brother loved building a Millennium Falcon that had a million pieces
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this toy from a friend and it sounds amazing. I totally agree with you on these helping your child develop some skills.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand specifically. They do look familiar. I do like that there are options like this out there.
