Learning Benefits
Every child is an individual with a unique sense of creativity and style. The creation of something new and unique – born of a child’s imagination – is the idea behind Automoblox.
There are plenty of building and assembly toys on the market that include instructions and illustrations to help children build the product that is pictured on the box. With Automoblox, kids play “outside the box” – assembling the unique designs pictured in their own mind’s eye.
Automoblox designer, Patrick Calello worked closely with leading child development psychologists to create a play experience with sound educational value. With Automoblox, a child learns goal directed activity through which knowledge is acquired by coordinating the following:
Visio-spatial processing
By playing with the Automoblox, a child can discover how they perceive shapes and part-towhole relationships by putting the puzzle pieces together. They will begin to use skills such as rotation, integration and see angles to accurately differentiate between shapes and and how they can build and design their own cars.
Creative problem solving
Creative problem solving skills develop as your child is able to formulate new ideas and produce a variety of responses (or different combinations to create new car designs). Automoblox helps in developing planning skills. Creativity involves originality, flexibility, independence and playfulness.
Gross and fine motor skills
Gross and Fine Motor Skills develops and exercises a child’s sensory and motor modalities. Automoblox promotes the development of the ability to coordinate precise hand and visual movements, precise movements of the arms, hands and fingers and the ability to develop finger dexterity and speed of motor movements.
With multible levels of play, Automoblox grows with your child.
Puch and play
At first, a child may mostly puch around an Automoblox car. Feedback from the real rubber tires makes that play experience quite satisfying. The stylish people, with a built in shape sorter, will challange their curious minds. Encourage the child to pull off the wheels and tug on the roof.
Take apart – put together
As the child develops and becomes more faimiliar with Automoblox, the bulk of their play will focus on assembly and disassembly. Once challanging physical tasks will become second nature. This play pattern is in addition to simply pushing and playing.
Creating new cars
As the child masters the basic skills to assemble cars their attention will turn to create their own designs. Tangible cars and a great sense of accomplishment will result from a stimulating and rewarding creative process.
Cherish and collect
Automoblox cars are cool and stylish, never to be considered a „baby“ toy. The durablity, design and uniqueness of Automoblox lends itself to proud display on a young man’s dresser long after the useful playlife is up. Automoblox sought to create a toy that would excite a child’s soul, creating fond memories of a awarding childhood.
