Development of motor skills and learning
The development of a child between 1 and 3 years old is a crucial period of growth when they begin acquiring essential motor and cognitive skills. During this stage, children experience rapid physical and mental growth, improving their coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and their ability to interact with their surroundings. Sensory toys, such as our musical boxes for children, play a key role in this context, helping little ones enhance these skills in a fun and educational way. At Petit Folks, we strive to be part of this evolution, providing educational toys and tools designed to create a positive learning experience, using popular songs as the central theme.
How does motor development progress between 1 and 3 Years?
In the first three years of life, motor development undergoes significant advancements. Gross motor skills, involving large and coordinated movements such as walking, running, or jumping, improve considerably. Simultaneously, fine motor skills, which involve the control and coordination of smaller, more precise movements such as grasping, squeezing, or handling small objects, also develop. These milestones allow children to interact more effectively with their environment and perform daily activities with greater independence. Sensory toys for children aged 1 to 3, like Petit Folks’ musical boxes, which are designed for kids up to 6 years old, are ideal tools for working on both fine and gross motor skills. The movements associated with each song and the activity suggestions in the Petit Folks app, are perfect for stimulating these areas. Additionally, the cards are easy to hold and manipulate, enhancing the learning and play experience for children.
A versatile toy with a wide range of educational possibilities
Petit Folks’ wooden educational toys are exceptionally versatile tools that provide countless opportunities for children’s learning and creativity. These boxes include wooden cards with illustrations inspired by popular songs, enabling kids to not only learn traditional melodies but also identify elements and characters in the ilustrations, encouraging visual learning and observation skills. The illustrations also inspire children to invent and narrate stories, helping the youngest ones develop their imagination and linguistic abilities. With every song, children can explore rhythms and create their own choreographies, stimulating motor coordination.
Enrich their musical experience with Petit Folks!
Nurturing musical interest in young children is fundamental for their cognitive and emotional development. To achieve this, it’s important to integrate music into their daily routines, such as playing songs while they engage in activities or complete tasks. Musical educational toys like Petit Folks’ wooden boxes are ideal for this purpose, as they allow kids to interact with melodies while learning about rhythms and popular songs. Singing together, dancing to the beat, and participating in musical activities foster self-expression and coordination. Being exposed to various musical styles and creating a musical environment at home with accessible instruments are also key. Taking children to concerts and musical events can further their appreciation of music.
A combination of interactive play, sound exploration, and shared experiences helps children develop a lifelong love for music. Petit Folks’ boxes are an excellent tool to stimulate musical knowledge and interest in kids, promoting their cognitive and emotional growth in a playful and creative way. These boxes, which include popular songs, allow children to learn traditional melodies while developing rhythmic and motor skills. The multisensory approach of the boxes, which engages sight, hearing, and touch, facilitates comprehensive learning, improving memory and language skills. Active participation from parents is also crucial, as singing and sharing musical moments together strengthen family bonds, as well as children’s confidence and self-esteem.
