Playing for adults: Blocks and Magnets to the rescue

Most of us are tired and overwhelmed. The pandemic left the world economy in shackles
and people are struggling.

Little to no childcare support and a fickle economy with a looming threat of recession have
drained us. How do we then keep a normal front for the healthy development of our
children?

The answer might surprise you. Playing with blocks and magnets has been found to
be not only an easy activity but can actually help adults regulate themselves.

It requires:
1. Little to no prep time
2. Is not messy like art
3. Easy clean up
4. Teaches kids creative ways to build
5. Hand-Eye co-ordination
6. Fine and Gross motor skills

Many of these activities are not only great for kids, but an adult participating with them
allows them to bond, boosts confidence; moreover, it allows us as adults to bust stress.

Talk about a low prep activity with so many benefits!
