The blocks should not be too big for the child to grasp.


4. Ages 2-3: Standard size blocks.


By age 2, the child has developed spatial concepts, language, thought, and imagination, and can do slightly more complex things with enhanced hand movements, hand-eye coordination.


At this point, you can give him a selection of standard building blocks, such as two perfectly aligned semicircles forming a perfect circle and two short blocks adding up to a long block.


Such blocks, can give the child more space to create and perform.
