#PicassoTiles are magnetic shaped blocks that are quite possibly the most versatile STEM learning tool for children. Whether you simply let children play with the tiles all by themselves or add elements to enhance the experience there are many benefits to a child's development through block play.
To set this invitation we provided our @PicassoTiles, different sized bells, multi colored string lights, and pipe cleaners to bring a magical holiday element to the process. The children were invited to build and decorate whatever they wanted with the tiles, magnetic loose parts, and lights.
The fascination with the bells and pipe cleaners sticking to the tiles continuously engages the child while letting them experiment and explore strategically with the magnetic elements. Since children are naturally drawn to light the multicolored string lights enhanced their visual sensory input experience. So many other skills were also used through building: fine motor, visual-spatial skills, thinking & reasoning, focus, patience, cognitive, critical thinking, language, and social growth. All of this through the power of play!
