Meccano has a lot of benefits and advantages to help a baby develop. It is very strange but a rare family has bought a meccano set for their children. And much fewer sets of meccano can be found inside the gift baskets. The question what I was always interested in is WHY? After all the meccano belong to the developmental toys. It greatly helps children starting from the very small ones to older children. For small children it helps to develop creativity and hands motor activity. For older children it is also very useful as they need to keep a pen or pencil at school and meccano gives a nice practice for hands and fingers. However, if you are looking for a perfect meccano for children, it is better to always know the main requirements how to choose it. The first main requirement for a meccano, if you really want to make a special child gift, is compliance with the child's age. You should always look for the tag saying what the age limit is. Besides, the quantity of details and its size crucially depend on the child's age. The smaller a child the bigger the details should be. And if you find a nice meccano with hundreds of details, have a second thought if it is ok for a kid you are going to present it with. If a child is under 5, don't buy meccano with many pieces. Firstly, children of such age aren't very good at small pieces handling and manipulations. Then, the big amount of details makes a kid upset and distract him from a meccano for a long time, or even forever. Secondly, try to choose a multi-purpose set of mecanno, where several things but not one can be done out of. It will keep a motivation of children in mecanno growing. Plus, it stimulates the creativity and imagination development. * So, if you'd like to teach your children to assemble meccano, start with the earlier ages. * For small children buy big sets with fewer details. * Then, depending on child's age, buy meccanos with smaller details to support kids' motor activity development.
