Our two daughters 2 and 4 enjoy playing with these shapes and making designs and patterns. It shows them basic math concepts through play. you have 1/4 squares which two become half then two halves equal one big square....etc...We have lots of fun with them. Of course we supervise our 2 yr old with the foam pieces. It is too bad that this is becoming a hard to find toy. Discovery toys hopefully is not discontinuing this product. It is a great learning game.

I looked around at several pattern blocks. I decided to spend the extra money on this set per another reviewer's recommendation. The foam is nice because it prevents the blocks from moving around too much. There are also varying levels of cards. I bought this for my 2.5 year old sun and the beginner cards that show you where to put the shapes are perfect for his skill level. It was worth the extra money as this pattern block set will grow with my son.

Five stars for the idea, but four for the design. The foam pieces are very light and can be moved/misplaced easily with little fingers while she is putting a pattern together. A bit frustrating trying to fix the pattern almost every time you put a new piece on it.
Honest reviews on PLAYFUL PATTERNS DESIGN ACTIVITY - Discovery Toys
I found out about this toy at an event our family attended. Another family brought this for their kids and my 3 year-old son spent the whole day playing with their kids and this set. It has cards with pictures on it broken down into shapes. The kids place the foam shapes over the card in the right places to create the picture. The best part: it has my son looking at shapes everywhere! Suddenly he's telling me that the light is a circle and the TV is a rectangle and the picture is a square... And the addition cards that come with the set are so great. After about 10 minutes of playing with them, he announced to me: "mommy, 2 semi-circles make a circle! And 2 triangles make a square!" This set is well worth the money and is getting tons of use in our house. I highly recommend!!

I bought this at a thrift shop for my first grade class. I took it home one day and my 2 and a half year old found it and asked to play with it. My 2 and a half year old and 21 month old son can both play with this toy. They can identify the shapes (my 2 year old can recognize a parallelogram!), and place the shapes in the correct spaces. I love the way the cards build up the skills for the child. My sons especially love the beginning cards which sort the foam pieces by shape and then teach how to combine different shapes to make new shapes. IT teaches such wonderful math and spacial skills. I only wish I had a complete set, but since I bought it used, we're missing some of the cards. I'm currently watching my 21 month old make a train with the pattern blocks. I definitely recommend this toy!
