Construction toys are extremely beneficial for children, both in development of fine motor skills and imagination.  Erector sets teaches them  how to use the basic tools like the screwdriver and wrench for the model kits, as well as subconsciously picking up basic concepts of engineering, not to mention practical uses for when they’re a little bit older!

If you were to ask engineers and architect how their career started they will tell you their passion was encouraged by their erector sets. Erector sets have grown more complex in recent years. Sets now contain small engines so kids can make model cars that actually run doing a variety of tasks.

Of course learning and education whilst playing is all well and good, but the main priority is for the child to have fun, and that is what erector sets do. Erector sets achieve that goal as kids can play with whatever they have built for hours, even days! The entire process of building fosters convergent thinking. This is what scientists call the ability to follow directions, learn facts and arrive at correct conclusions.  These skills are very valuable to your child as they go through school and take exams.  At the same time, erector sets and similar construction toys, also promote divergent thinking.  This is when someone has the ability come up with new ideas and creative solutions to problems.
