Assembly toys, like all toys for building something, are great for children's cognitive development as well as for their eye-hand coordination skills. There is a problem, though: they often don't offer kids a more "adult" view of things. They don't allow them to make things with materials that can be found in the real world like metals, nuts, and bolts. The Zaoh Block Aluminum Bicycle is a clever solution to this problem, letting your child create something that not only fills that gap but also functions as a decorative ornament in the grownup world!
The Zaoh Block Aluminum Bicycle comes in a kit containing 13 pieces of 9 bolts and nuts each, plus a hex key that can be used to put them together. Since this is a somewhat minimalist rendering of a bicycle, assembling it is easy even for a young child. Using the hex key might add a slight challenge but this is exactly the gain from doing such a project. Help your child's development with this original, fun toy that will then find a special place in your living room or your desk at work!
