Table toys include puzzles, various table blocks and other builders, beads and stringing activities and collections of objects (including shells, buttons, etc.). Children enjoy their variety and versatility. Rich in texture, color and shape table toys offer children challenging opportunities to learn new skills and concepts.

         Children develop creative problem-solving and practice emerging math skills such as sorting, classification, seriation and matching. Physical development is enhanced as children develop eye-hand coordination and refine small muscle skills. Children learn to work cooperatively in small groups playing simple table games and building together. They begin to demonstrate perseverance and self-discipline, as well as experiencing pride in accomplishment as they work at a task until it is completed.
