Little Big Games box

Brand: Heutink – Educo Hands On Education (Zelhem, Netherlands)

Your baby can now figure out how many things work and solve problems independently. The wooden box helps strengthen their hand and finger muscles while giving them hands-on, exploratory experience. Your baby learns to solve problems by pulling out the drawer of the wooden box to find the ball inside.

The babbling phase gradually comes to an end as your baby begins to learn and speak their first clear words. As a rule, babies develop a clear cognitive understanding of language much earlier and respond accordingly. This book takes your baby on an exciting journey of discovery through the body, familiar objects, emotions, and senses, helping them learn new words through realistic pictures and playful exploration.

Together with the wooden coins, the cardboard bank card (available in red or yellow) creates your baby’s very own first wallet, which they can use to practice their fine motor skills and even “treat” someone to a little something. How do you make your own wallet, how can you play with it, and what’s hiding on the back of the bank card? Is it a voucher?

Crafting Instructions

Often, it’s the things you don’t want your baby to touch that fascinate them the most. That’s why we’re going to make a little wallet together that your baby can have all to themselves. This allows them to develop an understanding of object permanence and practice deliberately pulling objects out of the wallet using just two fingers.

Learning, developing, and having a wonderful childhood – that’s the goal of Paul & Lori! With our CLEVER DIY instructions, we want to gradually inspire parents to enjoy crafting together and show them how easy crafting can be!

In addition to fine motor skills, color perception, and concentration, research (Prof. Dr. Constanze Kirchner, University of Augsburg, 2005) identifies three further educational benefits of three-dimensional creative work:

• Identity development

• Self-awareness, intelligence, and communication skills

• Compensation, creativity, and imaginative thinking
