JAKARTA - During the school holidays, changes occur in the daily lives of children, where they will spend a lot of time at home. Therefore, it is important for parents to prepare activities for children so that they do not feel bored.
One of the activities that can be done is to invite children to play stacking toys or bricks. This game is not only fun, but also supports children's development, ranging from motor skills to intelligence.
Here are some of the benefits of stacking block games for children's development that parents should know, from Family Psychologist, Pritta Tyas.
1. Train creativity in solving problems
Pritta said playing with stacking toys like Lego can train children's creativity. By playing, children will be trained to solve problems and rely on their own creativity.
"What is trained for children with them playing bricks is creativity. Here children are trained to solve problems in various ways," said Pritta at the Bundaran HI area, Central Jakarta, Friday, June 5.
2. Learn toughness
By playing the stacking blocks game, children are also trained to be more resilient. They play by stacking blocks to form a certain shape, where the process may not be easy so that resilience can increase.
"They also learn toughness. By arranging and playing, they think, try, so children can be formed tough through playing," he said.
3. Think critically
Another benefit of playing stacking blocks is that it can train children to think critically. They can think about making many specific shapes from the arrangement of the blocks.
"Playing also helps children's curiosity. Like with bricks, they can be curious and critical, they can make anything from the toy," he added.
With these various benefits, wooden stacking toys can be a choice of children's activities during school holidays. Interestingly, during this school holiday, the plastic block stacking toy brand, LEGO Indonesia, presents the LEGO Playgorund "Play and Be Great", at the Main Atrium East Mall, Grand Indonesia, on June 4 - July 19, 2026.
In this playing arena, children are invited to develop creativity, problem-solving skills, toughness, and self-confidence while playing with stacking blocks or bricks, to explore other things.
"More than just a recreational activity, playing is an effective learning tool for honing creativity, communication skills, collaboration, and problem solving, essential skills that will continue to be needed in the future," said Senior Brand Manager and Site Lead Indonesia Marketing at The LEGO Group, Yulia Suraatmadja.
In the playground, children can assemble unique animals on the Brick Carousel, solve creative challenges in Brick Mix, collaborate on building LEGO sets in Hop & Build, hunt for surprises in Brick Seek, and much more.
