As people age, it is important for seniors to keep their hands and minds active. Using their hands, brains, and eyes together can help rejuvenate their aging brains.
At 【HOI】 Innovation, we adhere to the philosophy of "playing with peace of mind, learning with joy." We are dedicated to developing educational toys that promote sensory integration, language, cognitive, and social skills through playful learning. These activities help seniors effectively train their hand muscles, concentration, and logical thinking during the gaming process.
Drawing inspiration from the symmetrical shape of the pictograph "木" (meaning "wood" or "tree" in Chinese), we integrate the appearance of the character into a stackable form, creating a special structure that offers various stacking possibilities. Throughout the process of stacking and arranging, creativity is sparked, ideas are expressed, and different activities and challenges can be undertaken with additional accessories.
By exploring different stacking and combination methods, users engage both hands and minds, activating cognitive functions and experiencing a sense of accomplishment through the completion of stacks and creations.
We carefully select beech wood sourced from Europe for the building blocks, as it carries a natural aroma and features delicate grain patterns and a smooth texture, fostering a relaxed and healing ambiance in daily life.
- During the process of building with blocks, participants experience enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment through independent stacking and assembling of the blocks.
- The diverse stacking and assembling methods allow for hands-on exploration of various possibilities.
- Engaging in the stacking process inspires diverse ideas and promotes both manual dexterity and mental stimulation.
The wooden block set featuring the character "木" can be arranged, pieced together, and stacked to create various shapes and domino structures, transitioning from flat to three-dimensional. It can also be combined with other block accessories for creative expression and gameplay.
Play Method One
Sequential Logic
Utilize various placement methods such as upright, horizontal, and diagonal, along with variations in stacking and quantity to identify patterns and arrange the blocks.
Play Method Two
Flat Assembly
Place the blocks flat and connect them horizontally, vertically, or bidirectionally, creating diverse shapes. Suitable for solo play or for two or more individuals or groups to take turns assembling. Can also be assembled in a domino effect. Utilize block shapes to create a mosaic effect, generating variations in placement and arrangement in both horizontal and vertical orientations. Utilize block shapes to start from corresponding placements, use picture cards for reference, and then create favorite animals, objects, or scenes.
Play Method Three
Layout Game
Arrange blocks vertically or horizontally like dominoes, considering the distance between blocks to challenge different arrangements for smooth block falls.
Play Method Four
Stacking and Structure
Interlock and stack blocks upright, horizontally, or diagonally, collectively exploring stacking methods and structures, challenging how to stack them securely. Stack monks: Utilize blocks' unique angles, interlock and stack them upwards. Try to stack circular or turning patterns. Stunt performance: Use fewer blocks as a base, and stack upwards to challenge stacking height.
Play Method Five
Extended Activities
Word game: Use other word components to combine and arrange, consider words containing the character "木," and compare which word has the most strokes? Life story sharing: Recall different stages of life and memorable events, together depict, lay out, record, and complete your own story.
