I searched the local tile stores for 1 inch square tiles, but they are not the "in" size for home remodels any longer; the stores said I could special order the 300+ I needed: expensive. Then I saw these colored tiles and they are perfect, for a fraction of the cost. Now each student has a set of 10 for Marcy Cook Tile Cards. The tiles are 4 different colors, which helps so kids don't mix up their set w/ their neighbor's while working. I couldn't be more pleased! Thanks Learning Resources!

I love these and use them to teach my daughter about basic math and also about patterning. She loves to make different patterns and sort them by color as well. They are bigger than Scrabble tiles in case anyone was wondering about the size, but they seem to be the same kind of plastic. They also come in a reusable jar, and I was really glad about that.

I bought these to use for chore chart magnets. I printed the chores on paper and modge podged them to these tiles. They are awesome! I was able to use yellow for morning chores, red for afternoon, blue for evening and green for extra chores.

I plan to use the leftovers as they were intended (a learning tool) with my 3yo while the big kids are in school this year.

Couldn't be happier!

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Square Color Tiles

It's a simple product--a bucket of 400 colored squares, 100 squares each of four colors. There are more uses for these than you might expect, though. They can be sorted, stacked, laid out in patterns, and the edges are just wide enough to stand them up like dominoes.

They are made of hard, durable, shiny plastic, and can be written on with a dry-erase marker and cleaned easily. You could use them to write letters on to build spelling words, doing vowels in one color and consonants in another.

In our homeschool, we use them for probability, for patterning, and for making designs. You can grab a random handful of them, and make a bar graph of what colors you got in your handful. They're also good for teaching area and perimeter, and tiling a surface, since each tile is 1 square inch.

Another favorite activity with these is for toddlers. While the tiles are a potential choking hazard and require close supervision, they're big enough and bright enough to supervise easily (they don't fit inside my choking hazard tester, but I still watch the little ones closely), and toddlers LOVE them. I took an X-acto knife and cut a slot in the plastic lid of the container that's just wide enough to fit the tiles through sideways. Now, the little ones love when I set out a handful on the table for them (they make a great clinky noise, too), and they'll spend forever fitting the pieces back in through the slot (sort of like a piggy bank). It's a great fine-motor development activity, and I can teach colors at the same time. "Where's a blue one? Can you put a blue one in now?"

Overall, this is a simple, but worthwhile and versatile toy.

I ordered these so I could teach number sense to my 5 year old. I learned a trick from some Kinder teachers, which is to write numbers (1-100) on one side of each tile (same color) and have kids put them in order, then stack them (i.e. learning tens). These work great for that purpose and my son thinks it's fun!
