Wooden train toys have a variety of functions:
1. Cognitive development
Shape and spatial cognition:
Wooden train toys are usually composed of different shapes of cars (such as cuboid freight cars, cylindrical tank cars, etc.) and tracks (straight track, curved track). In the process of playing, children can intuitively understand various geometric shapes. For example, they can learn that round wheels can roll on rails and that cuboid cars have different faces and edges.
It also helps with spatial cognition
Knowledge of things:
The shape of the train toy is usually made to imitate the real train, including the front, the carriage, the wheels and other parts. Children in the process of playing can understand the basic structure and components of the train, but also can recognize the different types of car use, such as passenger cars are manned, freight cars can transport goods and so on.
2. Motor skills
Fine motor development
When children assemble wooden train tracks and connecting cars, they need to use their fingers to pick up small parts such as screws, track joints, etc., and fit them exactly into place. This operation can exercise the small muscle groups of the child's hand and improve the flexibility and coordination of the fingers. For example, tightening screws to fix the track requires children to use finger pinching, twisting and other actions, which is helpful for the development of fine movements such as using cutlery and holding pens in the future.
Major motor skills development
When children push the train on the track, their arms need to make a push action, which helps to develop arm muscle strength and control. And if the toy train is larger, the child may need to crawl or walk on the ground to follow the train, thereby promoting the development of balance and physical movement.
