Sensory and Fine-Motor Skills Development
At this age, developing and recognising things with 5 senses is critical. Wooden toys allow kids to use all of their sense in their interaction with them. They are also important for the development of small muscles and fine motor skills. Kids strengthen these muscles through repeated play and are also able to develop hand-eye coordination. Sensory play builds interconnections in the neural pathways of the brain, this develops the child’s ability to carry out complex tasks thus enhancing their thought process and developing systems of logic.
