Hey, what did you just call me? Now, before you get all upset and think I’ve said something to rock the boat, go back to your childhood days and remember Lucy calling Charlie Brown a blockhead. And, when you look at the picture below of the architectural blocks, you can’t help but think of Melissa and Doug toys.
In case you’re wondering how the idea of building blocks began, a German educator named Friedrich Froebel, who also developed the concept of kindergarten, invented them because he believed that the children’s toys of the day were inferior for properly teaching children and cultivating their minds. This was a revolutionary thinking in the early 1800’s and served to change toy making forever. And, that’s exactly what’s behind this set of Melissa and Doug toys.
Use your mind’s eye to see your son or daughter taking these architectural blocks in hand and creating their buildings. As a parent it’s difficult to know just how you’ll affect your child as they grow into adulthood. While that’s easily another subject for another day, go ahead and take the step of giving them a set of these blocks and just see what comes from it – I think you’ll be surprised.
