Benefits

Toy blocks like Uncle Goose Braille ABC w/ Sign Language are superb educational toys. These in particular help develop kids creativity as well as help children to learn the alphabet, numbers, and sign language.

Also, building blocks have been shown to significantly increase language development. A recent study reported in the October 2007 issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine finds a strong association between playing with building blocks and a significant increase in language scores in young children. On average, kids who played with blocks scored 15 percent higher on their language assessment than those who did not. Researchers speculate that such a measurable increase is partly due to creative block play replacing other time spent in activities that do not encourage language development, such as watching television. They also maintain that child and parent playing together remains the strongest way of promoting children's development.
