Many children create the building blocks model which is in fact a reflection of actual structure of their real life; through these hand-made models of children, we understand their cognition of built environment surroundings. Children's cognition of the environment comes from their creative process, well know of the building blocks shape and space, on the other hand, from the initial sensory space, thus it shapes to the space concept, which will become indicator to develop visual-spatial intelligence. Froebel, a preschool education expert, put forward the "learning from doing", a system of nursery ideas, in which the main design is a series of interrelated building blocks, which become the promoter of the so-called "child-centered" educational philosophy basis. He found that when children are playing carefully the blocks, they can learn the principles of integrity, connection of the internal structure, link of the opposite, and this type of knowledge all help to intellectual development and physical growth. In playing building blocks games, there is no need for adult assistance and companionship, no rules, no need for batteries, and easy to operate, providing children with a completely interference-free "improvisation" space, able to gradually develop children's own initiative, creative, and organization capabilities. American scholar, Suzanne Kolodziej, try to the theme of building blocks, designed a series of links to arts, mathematics, and science-related courses. The approach is as follows: Let each child have their own bag of building blocks, building blocks in order to increase the fun for them, arrange them to select new building blocks every monkey and let them through this bag of building blocks, discover and recognize that inherent nature in the architecture, art, mathematics, and science. Every child according to his ability to take the stack of blocks, and through observation and imitation of other children's practice skills, learn and recognize knowledge of new skills. The role of parents in this process is to share their discoveries and observations and provide descriptive opinion, so that children have the opportunity to express their views on their work, instead of telling them how what to do or what must do. Free learning environment let children obtain great fun of building blocks, active observation, study and construction. Building blocks can enhance the growth of visual-spatial intelligence. Scholars Leeb-Lundberg thinks that the art used and art feelings of children in building blocks is very similar to art of mathematics created for a mathematician. He found that when children started in the building blocks, first learn of permutations and combinations of lines, the next is how to construct tower with space verticality, and when they learn the successful combination of straight trees and towers, they can link to the length of the mathematics, weight, and concept such as scientific balance, stability, and gravity.
