What our OT says:
- Fine Motor Skills: Nesting blocks require a variety of fine motor skills—grasping, flexing, rotating, manipulating, and coordinating hand movements.
- Orientation and Spacial Awareness: Nesting involves positioning each block or object in a specific way to fit inside another. While stacking does not always requires orientation, these blocks fit into each other like a puzzle. Twisting and turning the pieces to fit. this refines Spacial awareness and orientation.
- Discrimination: Children learn to differentiate between size and shape.
- Spatial Relations: After discrimination, kids relate one object to another, deciding if it’s the next in sequential size. Trial and error will accompany this process.
- Ideation and motor planning: Watch as children create plans for using all the items together.
- Open-ended Exploration: Nesting blocks offer limitless creativity. They transform into parking garages, Disneyland rides, or even Star Wars spaceships.
- Sustained Attention: Whether stacking or engaging in open-ended play, sustained attention is essential.
- STEAM: Creating, nesting stacking or learning about shapes and colours. These are all foundation skills for STEAM development.
