The first plastic parts appeared only in the early eighties of the XX century in France. Today, what kind of designers do not exist: magnetic, and wooden, and electronic.

- The development of fine motor skills. Now in most articles on parenting, particular attention is paid to fine motor skills. Why should it be developed? Fine motor skills are a set of movements of the arms and legs aimed at grabbing, holding, and other manipulations with small objects. In order to make, at first glance, simple movements with fingers or toes, three systems are involved: nervous, bone, muscle. Scientists have proven that the development of fine motor skills has a positive effect on the development of attention, vision, and memory. And the close location of the brain center, which is responsible for the movements of the hands and feet, and the portion of the cortex, which is responsible for speech, allows us to conclude about the effect of fine motor skills on the speech and thinking of the child. The designer is an excellent simulator for fingers. Using educational games with the use of parts for construction, the parent helps the child to develop.
