Here are 5 benefits of building blocks for adults:

·       Enhanced Creativity: Building blocks provide a creative outlet for adults to explore their imagination. The process of constructing objects or designs encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving, they also have stress relief benefits to them. 

·       Improved Focus and Concentration: Building intricate structures requires concentration and attention to detail. Regular engagement with building blocks can contribute to improved focus and enhanced cognitive abilities. This also encourages a sense of accomplishment from completing a complex or challenging build. 

·       Enhanced Spatial Skills: More than just being a mindful escape from the demands of daily life, manipulating blocks in three-dimensional space enhances spatial awareness and visualisation skills. This is particularly beneficial for tasks that involve understanding and interpreting spatial relationships.

·       Cognitive Stimulation: Building blocks stimulate cognitive functions such as memory, problem-solving, and logical thinking. Adults engaging in these activities exercise their brains, promoting mental agility, as well as the fine motor skills that the precise handling of building blocks promote.

·       Nostalgic Connection & Social Bonding: Building with blocks often evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding adults of childhood play. This connection to positive memories can contribute to a more joyful and relaxed state of mind. Also, as an activity, it fosters connections between individuals. Whether collaborating on a project or sharing creative ideas, it provides an avenue for social interaction and bonding among adults.

Things You Didn’t Know About Pokémon:

·       Original Pokémon Designs: Game Freak’s designer Ken Sugimori designed the original 151 Pokémon. The designs were intentionally kept simple due to technical constraints and to make them easily recognisable.

·       Legendary Connection: The legendary Pokémon Gyarados and Magikarp are based on a Chinese myth about a carp that transforms into a dragon after swimming upstream and overcoming a waterfall.

·       Hidden Evolutionary Connection: Eevee’s multiple evolutions were initially a technical solution to a limitation in the game’s coding. Each evolution allowed for a new form without requiring additional programming.
