How does playing with building toys help kids developmentally?

Playing with building toys helps kids learn to problem solve and think analytically, and it sparks creativity. Building things with other kids also helps children with social skills by teaching them to share and communicate. Additional skills that improve through play with building toys include spatial reasoning, hand-eye coordination, and motor skills.

How do I clean building toys.

You can clean building toys by hand with warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse all the soap away from them and leave them to drip-dry on a towel or in a dish rack. Or stuff building toys into a zippered mesh bag and place them on the top rack of the dishwasher. To prevent damage, always allow building toys to air dry.

What's the best way to store building toys?

If building toys come with their own bucket, keep them in this original container. Otherwise, store building toys in a plastic bin with a secure lid or in a sturdy fabric bag with a drawstring.
