According toHong Kong Department of Health Small Muscle Development GuidelinesThe period between 2 and 3 years old is a critical period for the development of fine hand muscles. These kinds of building block activities are very important for the development of skills such as holding a pen and using tools in the future.

You can design various extension activities: 1) Color classification game - group the building blocks of the same color; 2) Height challenge - compete to see who can stack the highest without it toppling; 3) Story creation - tell stories using animal characters and scene elements; 4) Matching game - match animals with their corresponding habitats. These activities can maximize the educational value of the puzzle toys while enhancing the fun of parent-child interaction.
