Construction toys are some of the oldest toys you will come across. No small thanks to the fact that they can easily be improvised from anything a kid can lay hands on.
Construction toys hold lots of values that cut across the different aspects of a child’s development.
For one, they help with a child’s cognitive development. They’re also excellent toys to help with toddlers’ gross motor skills. They help with good communication skills in a child.
