Building Toys Build Brain Power!
Published Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Magnetic Tiles, Wooden Blocks, and Robots!
It's one of the most basic forms of play: Building.
Anthropologists believe children have been stacking and building as long as there have been children. It's nearly instinctual for a toddler to place one thing on top of another... and to knock their stack over.
This type of play develops all sorts of important areas of a child’s brain. Motor skills and creativity grow together as the child plays. They’re also learning about gravity and balance and problem solving.
As society has advanced, so have the types of building toys children play with. Here at Happy Up, we love to showcase toys that have all the benefits of the classics, but with a modern twist!
Collected here: building sets that are perfect for your pre-k kiddos!

Building ToysMagna-Tiles Dino World
MagnaTiles are a favorite at Happy Up.
We love the open-ended building they inspire in kids. The magnets hide on the edges of the panels and stick together securely. Best of all, the magnets don’t have a right or wrong way. No matter what, they’re always attracted to each other. So no frustration with polarity!
We especially love that the tiles are super sturdy and nearly indestructible.
The introduction of dinosaurs? MIND BLOWING EXCITEMENT!
