Puzzle fun for pre-schoolers

Educational fun for pre-schoolers. Helps with shape and color recognition as well as creativity. Only suggestion for the manufacturer is to add a more secure cover so that the puzzle boards and pieces can stay in the wood container. The flimsy plastic cover is useless.

Great for learning patience and fine motor skills

My son was three when we purchased this and as long as I got him started and came by to look at each completed picture, he would keep himself busy getting all the pieces in "just the right spot" while I cooked, cleaned...etc. The boards are two-sided. We keep the pieces in a ziploc bag.

disappointed

I waited a long time to buy a set of pattern blocks... previously, I have used plastic ones from the library.
What disappointed me about this product is that while it includes this *useless* colored shapes boards, it does not include a "blank" board with a recessed geometric pattern, which seems standard with other sets. This would be like a "blank" (non-colored) board with a recessed shape of, for example, a hexagon where the kids can fill it with the pattern blocks. Without something like this, the blocks slide around which makes it difficult to create ones own patterns.
I rated this product a four because I rate pattern blocks in general a 5, but this particular product, compared to other sets of pattern blocks would maybe be a 3.
