Learning ResourcesPlastic Pattern Blocks 0.5cm

Q: are these blocks wooden or plastic and does anyone know if they are compatible with the Melissa & Doug range of blocks?

Hi, they are made of plastic. I am afraid I have no idea if they are compatible with the Melissa and Doug sets. Hope that helps!

Q: how thick are the shapes?

These shapes are 1&1/2 times the thickness of a pound coin, & of good quality.We brought a pack of shape cards to go with them. Keeps our grandchildren amused for hours.

Q: Does it come with design/pattern cards? or do you know where to buy/download them pls?

No these had no pattern on them and i am not sure if you can download design cards. Hope this helps.

Q: Please can you give me the measurements for the triangle? I am trying to ensure they fit into existing patterns!

Hi! The sides of the triangle measure 25mm/2.5cm each.

Great buy!

Hours of fun and the kids (2 and 4) are always competing for whoever creates the most imaginative creature/objects. I bought an A4 box to keep all in and the lid works great for using with a printed out sheet with images that need to be filled in with shapes (google search). Great educational toy!

A great maths resource for pre-schoolers and older ones alike

We bought these to have fun creating pictures and patterns as part of a fairly informal approach to Early Years "maths". My four year old made some lovely patterns with them and appreciated the bright colours, my 6 year old did pretty much the same but we talked more about which shapes fitted together and why. We also bought the pattern "cards" with pictures to replicate, but these on their own are great and you don't have to be too prescriptive in what the kids do with them. They are made of fairly solid-feeling plastic, not too flimsy and I think they will last us a fair few years.

Brilliant Toy, my 4 year old enjoys it.

I bought these for my 4 year old who is eagerly looking forward big school. We use these with block pattern printouts which I found free online. As I want to use this as a travel toy as well I put hook and loop tape on the pictures and the blocks (time consuming but worth it). She can now safely lift her pictures to show them off. I have laminated the picture for longevity but I plan to print out new ones occasionally to keep it fresh. For open play and creativity she can use the blocks on a felt surface as the hook side of the tape is on the blocks. Note: this means we will be using more loop tape than hook tape but I am sure I can find a use for the hook tape as it will stick on other surfaces.

Amazing

Absolutely brilliant, bought for my two year old daughters and they love them. Can use them with free block pattern printables on the internet. Good quality for being cheaper than the wooden blocks. Highly recommend

Fantastic Teaching Resource

I'm a Primary school teacher and I absolutely love these pattern blocks. They're incredibly useful for teaching a range of topics, from shapes to fractions and beyond. My kids love playing with them and I love that they're so easy to keep track of and clean. The pieces are proportionate, so that 1 yellow hexagon is equal to 2 red trapezoids, 3 blue parallelograms, and 6 green equilateral triangles. Absolutely fantastic!
