You know how colouring books for adults are out in the market? I'm waiting to see if they come out with a set of these Pattern Blocks and Boards for adults - maybe smaller pieces, and more of them, too. I find it relaxing to arrange and rearrange shapes like that, and it's especially rewarding when they fit together 'properly.' This is actually a toy that would work well for those who don't care for colouring. It's a way for your child to express themselves, but without having to colour on or in lines, etc. I know what it's like to have a child who doesn't like colouring. Those of you who also have one, know that it is not something they will probably ever grow to like, you know what I mean?
Playing with these Pattern Blocks and Boards is a skill that is used in even higher level grades; in math classes the teachers like for students to manipulate shapes like that. This is a great start for your child that is fun, and you will be surprised how often they go back to this type of puzzle, again and again.
The reviews on this set are excellent! The set includes 120 shapes, with 5 double-sided boards. The brand is Melissa & Doug, probably the most popular name in toys for wooden toys such as this.
Shipping is free if you spend over $25 on eligible Amazon items, so you may as well top up with something $5 and up. (How about another 'shape' item - a
Terry's Chocolate Orange, for $5.29?) Kids will love placing these chocolate wedges into shapes and then into their mouths.
