Fine Motor Skills

Fine Motor Skills

By manipulating pieces and fitting them together, children improve their dexterity, which prepares them to perform actions requiring more precise movements. A variety of activities help develop dexterity. Threading, drawing, cutting and manipulating various modelling clays gradually helps acquire the skills needed to master everyday gestures such as buttoning, lacing and zipping up and prepares children for writing. Preschoolers who do these types of activities will find it easier to trace letters.

Concentration

Concentration

Concentration is the ability to focus attention on a single subject. Whether with work, reading or play, the process is always the same, and it is essential for learning. However, the ability to concentrate varies greatly depending on age and neurological development. Play is a natural ally of concentration. Anyone who has observed a child playing can attest to this. Many things can stimulate concentration. First, it is important to provide the child with a favourable learning environment: limit noise, have adequate physical and material organization, and fit the task duration as well as the challenge level to the child's abilities. Encouraging the child to follow a path with their finger, closing their eyes so that they listen to sounds, and reminding them of some of the characteristics of the task are strategies that help develop concentration. Finally, asking the child what they did to complete a task allows them to apply their strategies in other contexts.

Logical Reasoning

Logical Reasoning

Logical thinking develops as children interact with their environment. Initially, they develop their reasoning through observations, comparisons and classifications of objects to then establish what distinguishes them or what unites them. Several activities require logical reasoning: solving a 3-D puzzle, doing a scientific experiment, building a model using instructions or playing chess. All of these activities require reflection and concentration and even call upon the ability to develop hypotheses and deductions in order to develop strategies. Exercising reasoning promotes the development of the ability to solve all problems.

Take your marble run to the next level with the GraviTrax Fusion Action Set, a building set that allows children ages 8 and up to create dynamic, multi-level marble runs. With approximately 160 pieces and 3 action elements, including the new Dynamo, there are countless exciting building possibilities to explore.
The marbles can change levels, roll down slopes, and travel through different track elements. Children must think carefully about how to arrange the pieces, anticipate the marble’s path, and experiment with different configurations to create a working track. The set also includes an instruction guide with track ideas across three difficulty levels.
More than just a building toy, GraviTrax allows children to explore the principles of gravity, movement, speed, and trajectories in a fun and hands-on way. By building and testing their tracks, children develop logical thinking, creativity, concentration, planning, and problem-solving skills.
Thanks to its expandable system, GraviTrax can be combined with other products from the BASE and PRO ranges, allowing children to create increasingly larger and more complex marble runs.
