More from the MuseumTour expert:
This set encourages independent play and creativity while teaching children about the principles of gravity. The planning and precision required to build a successful structure helps them develop their sequential and organizational skills. By thinking out the logistics and visual aspects of their structure, children develop their spatial intelligence. Through trial and error, they gain understanding of cause and effect, and develop their logical intelligence. By using their hands to build and perfect their structure, they learn to handle the blocks and marbles with skill, and develop their kinesthetic intelligence.
