*contest closed* Glamma Toys-WEDGiTS To Go! *Giveaway*
WEDGiTS was once described as a stack of square donuts that form into a four-sided pyramid. However described, WEDGiTS have proudly found their way into homes, classrooms and occupational therapy centers across five continents.
WEDGiTS, found at Glamma Toys, are building blocks that are graduated in size. The five primary block shapes nest and layer in vertical and horizontal positions. Mathematicians refer to these block shapes as rhombus and octahedron. Kids gravitate toward WEDGiTS because the blocks are designed to naturally align or drop into place, offering no wrong way to build! Educators often refer to this as an open-ended manipulative.
Our Take: The 35-piece WEDGiTS to Go! pack is just right for two kids, but better for one. I had my 8 and 3 year olds fighting over the constructing toys! Once they made peace, the toy has an endless possibilities for designs. At my kids’ ages, the included design cards were a perfect jumping-off point. We’re already thinking about adding to our collection! This set retails for $47.99.
WEDGiTS are also fabulous because they pay attention to special needs. Occupational therapists recommend this type of product because it provides any age with a self-esteem platform. Whether for a child of special needs or an adult recovering from brain trauma, WEDGiTS always provides an environment for something new to be created. The satisfaction gained from a building accomplishment is a key milestone in cognitive development. Open-ended toys allow for creative designs without having to follow a given pattern or set of instructions. WEDGiTS also offer the opportunity for self-esteem development and has been recognized for such through key organizations like Lekotek and AblePlay.
WEDGiTS is an award-winning toy that would please any child on your shopping list.
