Frequently Asked Questions About Six Bricks

These cards give you so many ideas to build unique and creative models with your child. And they are themed so that you can select an area that they enjoy or where they need more development.

The cards assume you already have bricks at home that you can use again – instead of leaving them in a box or in the cupboard.

The books are written with the purpose of developing active engagement with the storyline. We want children to have the right literacy skills for their age – and reading is an important part of that.

Children do not have to listen to a book in a passive way. They can immerse themselves in the storyline and develop a real love of reading.

Ages 3 – 8 is the ideal time to build executive function. We do find older children also benefit from these activities, particularly if they have had developmental challenges in earlier years.

The packs are created for a maximum of 4 children to allow for families and friends to play together. If you have more children who would like to make use of the materials, you are able to order additional packs.

Our most popular gift is our Ultimate Kit.  It’s suitable for a range of ages so even older children get involved in the activities.

It’s one of those gifts that does not have just one use only.  It endures for many years and as children develop, they find other variations and uses for the range of over 100 activities.

A budget friendly option is our Basic Kit.  It looks good when it is gifted and children’s eyes light up as they open the box

Most activities are short and take between 5 – 10 minutes. There are activities where you can allow more time and this could take between 15 – 30 minutes.

The Yay4Play way is a cost-effective and easy option for parents to get manipulatives into the hands of their children.

It’s a way of ensuring that children have colourful, fun and hands-on learning to consolidate and reinforce skills and concepts from school.

Repetition is a key way to ensure that children grow in confidence and engage positively with previously learned knowledge and new concepts as well.

Children who passively watch TV or play on devices don’t develop core learning skills.

Yay4Play and the six bricks activities are designed to develop mental readiness and ensure that your child focuses and concentrates.

Quick activities are guided by parents, grandparents, guardians or carers and at the same time they are open-ended. Children learn to control and direct their own learning.

Play also re-energises the brain. Through movement children get blood flow to the neurons to create new neural pathways. This will build new learning while reinforcing and consolidating previous learning.
