Children are curious about the world around them and love to explore everything. To help children better understand means of transport as well as types of streets, parents often choose to explain and show their children pictures of vehicles through social networking sites. However, this will somewhat limit the child's creativity, molding his or her memory to a certain type of car.
Children will be extremely happy when they are free to imagine the colors of vehicles. Familiar cars under the baby's eyes become new and colorful. Baby loves the bright colors. So how can we convey information about different types of cars to our children while still leaving space for their imagination?
Get familiar with means of transportation
The roads in Vietnam have countless types of vehicles. I'm always curious why cars can run on the roads? Why are motorbikes different from cars? And there are countless other questions why children want answers from their parents. If the answer is too logical, the child won't understand, so many parents choose to tell stories to their children through Lego products.
Lego transportation sets have an overall appearance like real cars, but are extremely vividly colored to attract children. Children can freely ask questions about the similarities between Lego cars and real cars, while imagining how the car will work. Children gradually get used to the means of transportation while still having space to constantly be creative.
Parents can participate in the game with their children, giving suggestions and answers when their children need it, especially new knowledge related to car functions, so that their children understand that each type of car has a function. powerful and useful. This will help strengthen the family bond because your child will enjoy talking during Lego playtime. Parents are like a living dictionary, able to answer all of their children's questions.
Form essential soft skills
Lego is an intellectual toy, consisting of individual details, so children need to assemble it themselves to get a finished car. When assembling, children need to imagine the image of a car to determine the structure and shape of each layer of the model. On top of that, the detailed pieces are also challenging because the child has to visualize the 3D pieces corresponding to the 2D images on the available instructions. This process helps children form spatial thinking.
Lego does not have a fixed shape, children can freely create and build the products they want. A construction truck can completely transform into an excavator if you want. Although sometimes, the car a child builds will be a bit strange in the eyes of adults, but that is the way children see the world through a child's lens. Parents will be surprised by their children's endless creativity. Above all, the fact that your child decides which product to assemble, along with his or her ability to arrange time to assemble it, also lays the foundation for future independence.
Finally, Lego is a bridge for children to develop communication skills. To successfully assemble a product, you cannot do it alone and need the help of relatives or friends. While assembling, children learn how to ask for help, make requests as well as how to give opinions and exchange information.
Let's take a look at some Lego products about transportation
Children naturally like excitement and do not like boring theories. So parents can let their children play pretend games. The child will be the truck, talking to the parent's excavator, through which the parent will tell the child the function and working place of each type of vehicle. In parallel, there is an explanation of priority vehicles, why does the truck look so big but has to give way to the smaller emergency vehicle? All knowledge will be packaged in interesting stories that parents arrange for their children.
Your baby will need a lot of models to learn about vehicles. Transforming into vehicles also partly helps children develop emotions and understanding. Parents can give their children different types of trucks, such as garbage trucks or construction trucks, so they can ask themselves why they are the same truck but do two different things. When children constantly ask questions, they are also discovering this wonderful world for themselves. There are many other vehicle models such as excavators, police cars... waiting for you at genuine Mykingdom stores.
Getting familiar with means of transport early will help your child become aware of the correct way to travel, while also helping them develop social skills and other soft skills. Children will become more independent and confident when participating in traffic.
