It says it comes with 250 wood blacks also all I got was the cards? If I would have knows it didn’t come with them I wouldn’t have ordered this! It says on the very top comes with 250 wood blocks and pattern design cards Read more

I bought this for a parent in a memory care facility, so was disappointed to see that it's clearly labeled "Grades 2-6". All Amazon said was "intermediate". There are 6 double-sided colored pattern cards as shown in the picture (12 patterns); 3 double-sided black & white pattern cards (6 patterns) that are animals rather than abstract patterns. My parent was into quilting so the quilt-block-like patterns were what I wanted and I purposely didn't order the animal set. The remaining 9 cards (18 sides) are problem-solving exercises in black & white. It's a nice well-made product, but the description is misleading. I fully expected 36 colored abstract patterns as shown in the picture. Read more

I bought this set of pattern cards for my Mother who has had a stroke. The cards are oversized & the LR blocks fit the pattern perfectly. The cards have a range of challenges that are fun for me as an adult. I love the complicated geometric designs. We place the blocks on the patterns the 1st time & repeat the task without placing blocks on the cards which is way more challenging & could be very difficult. The down side is that both the blocks & boards are very slippery & will not stay in place. This is a very stimulating & worthwhile task for my Mother who is up for the challenge as she was good in math & loved geometry. Read more

My daughter had pattern blocks in kindergarten, and never felt she had enough time to play with them. So she asked for some for Christmas. She is bright, so along with a more generic card set, I purchased these. They are pricey for just being cards, but it is a rather specialized market. I thought that these cards had a lot of variety in skill level. I'm very pleased I purchased them. Both of my kids (4 and 6) love to do them.Some cards have fairly basic designs. Some have just the colors, and the child needs to figure out how to best fit the blocks in that space. Some have only the outlines, so the child cannot rely on color alone to place the blocks, but needs to look at the shape. Some cards ask for the child to complete the pattern. Some ask the child to create the symmetrical version of the shape that is shown. And our favorite have only an outline and say something like, "Complete this with 10 blocks. Now complete it with 35 blocks." Some of these can be tricky.This is advertized as going to second grade, and I would say that is accurate.We have owned them for 7 months now, and they still get played with at least weekly. Children who come over also enjoy them. Read more

I have a kiddo who has difficulty with language and decoding. This pattern toy not only keeps him entertained, but helps him to distinguish between shapes, put the different shapes together to form a picture, and we've applied it to letters and words. Allowing him to use the same parts over and over to create different pictures in this very tactile and artistic way helps him with his language building and skills, too. Read more

These cards are great for kids who need more of an challenge. Pattern blocks are a great toyto teach math and other things such as patterns, classification, and colors. These cards are muchmore challenging then the beginning level cards and add a spark of fun to the pattern blocks.Some cards the shapes that you can make already laid out, others just have an outline of a shapeand you need to use the number of blocks to fill in the shape. This requires a little more concentrationand skill. All in all, these pattern block cards are great for older kids who 6 and older. My kidsare 7 and 8 and find them fun and challenging. All in all a great toy and investment. Read more

I'm homeschooling my daughter through preschool and kindergarten and these are a regular part of our curriculum. I bought the Melissa and Doug blocks and once she was bored with the patterns that came with that set, she moved up to these. Very glad I purchased. These start at intermediate patterns and work up to pretty advanced. Good for problem solving and fine motor. My daughter is 3 and is still trying to get the hang of the first level cards, but I love that she can continue to use these for a while. Read more

These are thoughtfully designed pattern block cards. I had a hard time at first justifying the purchase knowing there are printable versions available for free. I'm glad I got these. The card stock is good quality and will last a while. These cards are a step up from  Learning Advantage 8837 Pattern Block Activity Cards (Pack of 20)  which are also nice but best for younger/beginner level children. This pack delivers a 3-D style that makes fun optical illusions with the block patters. There is a range of skills to be practiced here - different cards have different little games to play. Some are with pattern recognition, some with symmetry, some show the outline and color if block but not individual cells, some have the outline of the entire shape with hint on how to fill it in.I use these cards with my four-year-old (who is an advanced learner) in our homeschool/unschool environment, I know these cards will continue to challenge and entertain her over the next few years. I can see them being a good teaching tool for kids 4-8. Overall, I think this is a very clever pack and would recommend it to other people as well. Read more

El material es de muy buena calidad... Sin embargo bien s lo que buscaba, me deje llevar por la descripción ( que está mal) pensé en devolverlo pero ya no tiene caso. Hay que adquirir las piezas a parte, solo así tiene una gran funcionalidad. Le doy terapia a mi hijo desde casa así que se puede trabajar : comprensión abstracta, flexibilidad cognitiva, planeación y organización, además de memoria y habilidades numéricas. Read more
