Speaking of wooden block toys I am an old man residing in London, England. I have a boy who was keen in collecting various forms of toys in his child age. His room as I still remember was filled with the then popular stuffed teddy bears and other form of cartoon characters. One day one of my office colleagues insisted me to buy my child something really valuable for his future in terms of brain enhancement. I had a discussion with one of the popular playschool teachers in England and she was able to tell me the value of having puzzle blocks and wooden block toys at home.
The very next day I went to a local toy shop and bought by dear child the toy. As I gifted him the toy, he started to use his sense of imagination in creating not so good buildings at first. But as time went by, at the age of 7, he was really making some marvels I myself as a Civil Construction Engineer never dreamt of. To be frank now I do not feel embarrassed to say that a young boy like him thought way ahead of my imagination at his young age as compared to me. Wooden block toys had given my child a new ambition and from that very stage of partial maturity he deemed of becoming a Construction Architect like me.
I always used to tell him, that he would be even much better Architect than I am and make me proud one day. This dream of his made him to study harder and finally he got admission to one of the best Universities in England for his degree. Today he is esteemed as one of the top ten architects in England and I am the proud father of this talented child. But almost half of the credit goes to those Wooden Block toys I had once presented him. He still keeps on telling me how that toy changed his chain of thoughts. So all I have to advice the present generation parents is that please think smart and think for the child. If you think you do not have time to go to the local shops for buying gifts for your child then get hold of the Internet based online shopping websites and choose something good. It is safe and you can find one of the best collections. So go ahead and try it out.
