Children's Constructive Games, Training the Sensory

Hello, friends Teachers & Students, it's great to be back to share stories with you all. As always, there will be stories about education and science that I will share with you all. This is not separated from the daily activities that I often do every day as a teacher and also a parent.


Let's start sharing stories.


We are all aware, that almost all parents want and dream of having smart children who excel in all fields, various supports and ways are done to make those wishes and dreams come true. Sometimes we parents often see children as objects when it comes to education, where they are trying to do many things outside their wishes with the aim that they will be smart and accomplished. Which in the end is expected to achieve the dreams of parents, but not the dreams of the child.


However, we forget that children have the right to get something outside of education, even though it is important to know that there is a responsibility for parents to be supporters of the child's growth and development as well as possible and balanced. By accompanying the children so that on the way they can grow and develop optimally, of course, with the stages of age they go through.

My daughter

While studying at the University of Education and teacher training first, I had time to learn about the theory of cognitive development, especially developed by Jean Piaget related to play for children. Jean Piaget argued that play is an important activity to support children's cognitive development, especially in the early years of growth and development. I also believe and agree that play can develop children's cognitive through creativity because in the game there will be a process to solve problems, get new experiences, increase confidence, foster a sense of sharing and interacting, train body muscles and thinking power, and produce ways to overcome something.

As a father of 5 children, I always try to give my children time to play. This is what I learned and said before when I studied at a University majoring in education and Teacher Training. Many types of games can be played by children, one of which is the one that my children and I have done in the last two days. Where I take my children to Constructive Games, with a cheap item that my wife and I ordered a few days ago.


Constructive play is a type of play for children, which involves the power of thought using a variety of objects or Game Tools. The objects and tools of the game are related to creating something, drawing something, or designing something. The Constructive Games we played yesterday were Water Mist Beads or Magic Beads and Mini Bricks, these two constructive games we also played in the last two days.

This game my wife and I bought in one of the Online stores located in the application for the sale of goods at a fairly cheap price, and within 2 days this game tool arrived and was able to my children to play. Water Mist Beads or Magic Beads and Mini Bricks are two educational toys that are quite in demand by parents and liked by children because the game is believed and indeed seen to help children improve their skills while playing constructively.

One pack of Water Mist beads game or Magic Beads

For the game Water Mist Beads or Magic Beads is worth IDR. 53,000 guilds, or 19.4 Steem worth. Water beads also called Magic Beads are toys in the form of very small balls, and these small balls will expand when exposed to water or water droplets. Balls made from this polymer can be enlarged from the size or actual size when wet, these small balls have diverse colors that appeal to children and become a mix of colors when arranging the ball into the shape of something. Water Mist Beads or Magic Beads is considered a constructive game that is usually used as a sensory train for children, to improve their skills.

My children are very happy and excited to play with Water Mist Beads, many shapes of characters, and also the colors they combine to produce interesting shapes according to the characters and shapes they make. Their patience is trained by playing Water Mist Beads, my children continue to strive to produce a completely similar shape on top of the mold that has been available.

Some of the character patterns they have made according to existing guidelines, so that without feeling my children complete many of the characters and shapes they want to make. Of course, this is one way for me to limit children from excessive use of gadgets.


Another constructive game is Mini Bricks, this game is almost the same as Water Mist Beads. There are small Legos that must be arranged one by one to produce the desired shape. There are also guides for making various shapes and colors, making it easy to work on the preparation of these small-sized Legos.


Mini Bricks is generally a game that allows children to create cute cartoon characters that are unique and interesting. This is an attraction for children to make many characters like when playing Water Mist Beads. When playing Mini Bricks do not need to use water as Water Mist Beads, children simply combine these small blocks into one like playing with Lego.

Mini Bricks that my wife and I ordered we bought in an Online store for IDR. 7,500 guilds, or 2.7 Steem worth. At this affordable price, my wife and I bought some cartoon characters that we bought for the children, and they were very happy to play with these toys.

At least there are some cartoon characters that they have made and arranged, there is also a mosque that is also arranged from Mini Bricks toys. This game also trains the patience and accuracy of my children, so that everything is done and they keep well the arrangements of the blocks that have been shaped. To see the character figures that have been completed by my children, you can see the videos that I have uploaded on my Tiktok as follows :

You have taught your children in their childhood with colorful and educational games, I am sure your children will grow into intelligent people in the future. I also wonder, did you feel the same way as your children when you were a child?
