Every week, we will be sharing ideas of ways to play with our most popular toys and learning resources here at Babipur, starting with Kontu..
We’ve put the video together with help from Babipur Team member Maria Craib, Mum to Emma who is three and loves exploring and playing with Kontu. Her older brother is eight and is also a huge Kontu fan. He uses the set for more advanced STEM work and along side other resources too, making this set perfect for families like theirs with mixed age groups. At home, Maria and her little ones use Kontu on a weekly basis as a great learning through play resource and to add visual aids to school work tasks. It is a particularly useful resource during this current home learning period. Images by Maria Heather Danielle and in house Babi Pur
🌟1. Stacking & Building
Kontu magnetic bits and trays naturally invite small hands to begin stacking and building. Being magnetic they hold together really well but still fall when the height and angle is too much!
🌟2. Introduction to Magnets
The magnetic bits are brilliant for exploring. When combined with a magnetic board or surface such as the Triclimb Biri Board, children have an exciting time exploring how magnets work.
🌟3. Pictures, Flat Lays & Creative Play
Children will naturally take this open-ended resource and get creative!
🌟4. Shapes & Patterns
Kontu is a great visual aid for this teaching. The trays and bits work perfectly for making shapes and for creating patterns.
🌟5. Counting & Maths
Kontu has made sure to cover Maths learning from a very young age right through to upper primary stages. From counting 1,2,3 up to learning fractions and multiplication, this resource supports it all! There's handy activity cards if you're not sure where to start!
🌟6. Science, Technology & Engineering
Kontu is a complete STEM resource and comes with fantastic activities to inspire and engage young people to try out different structures, builds and makes. From simple balance experiments to creating a working hinge build, it is a wonderful way to open up the world of Science and Engineering from a young age!
