HERQUEEN Wooden Pattern Blocks Set, 231 PCS Magnet Pattern Blocks, a Pattern Book and 9 Double-Sided Puzzle Cards, Tangrams for Kids Ages 3+, Early Math Geometric Shapes Concepts Learning Resource

My 3rd grader has been hooked on tangrams and pattern blocks since long before she was 3, and has enjoyed and outgrown any number of sets over the years. When this popped up on recommended items feed, she immediately started begging for it. "But Mommy, it's got PINK shapes! But it's got flowers and butterflies!" I'd recently resigned the last of her outgrown sets to the attic - they were all hand-me-downs, missing pieces, or just so simple there was no point - and getting a new set at age 8 seemed like a waste to me, especially with all the preschoolers in the product ads, but she wore me down, and it did look like tangrams were legitimately on the 3-6th grade upcoming math curriculum, so I broke and went ahead and grabbed this.Now that the set is here, I'm very glad I did. It's very similar in design to M&D products - sturdy wooden case, durable wooden tiles, great for a Montessori classroom - but the included design books take it well above and beyond the ordinary run of the mill. These progress from level 1 (copy the image exactly) all the way through to level 10 (traditional tangrams), and include every level in between. Most important to me were the sections on rotation, reflection, lines of symmetry, and even 3-dimensional representation of shapes. All things that are upcoming in the next few years of her homeschooling journey. I'm sure we'll put this to good use, and though the price is a little daunting, I would highly recommend it as a long-term investment to someone with a young child: this is one toy that will last more than one Christmas.The other perks here were that the item is highly giftable (well packaged and attractive, playable right out of the box, but also have great instructions for add-on use), the magnetic white-board and pen are included, and the case is designed to hold the white board in place so the set could be played with minimal mess, even in the backseat of the car on a road trip. The magnets are also appreciated for taking play outside of the box. She was working tangrams on the fridge door while I cooked tonight - fun for her, and for once I wasn't having to jump across her playthings scattered all over the kitchen floor since she could go vertical with it.5 star, highly recommended.

This product is not for kids. There are many missing pieces from the package. The instruction is not clear. I do not recommend this product.Edit: I am not sure if there are 231 pcs together, but there are many. And there are many sharps and forms for the kids to puzzle the blocks in. It is decent gift. However, it only has 1 small magnetic white board, so each kid will take turn to play these 231 pcs of puzzles, which is not ideal. I change my review because I see improvement on this product.

This is a perfect toy for toddlers that are learning about shapes because it boost their creativity. It came with a lot of pieces so you can build a bunch of different stuff and a booklet that you can follow. It also came with different colors so my toddler loves it, and he would play for this for hours.

These learning toys are so good for fine motor skills, the quality is good too. I have had sets of these before and these are better quality and not paper thin, I love the magnetic board that you can put the paper on and the magnetic film on the back of the pieces so it stays in one place! As a little kid I remember being frustrated if my paper shifted and I lost all progress. There are a lot of pieces so lots to work with and multiple kids can play together. I love that there are math components in the book and it breaks it down into fractions as well! I do recommend these for a fun activity to do with your little ones, and for your bigger ones, have a race .... lots of smiles with this one.

Likes- Each piece is made of wood with a magnetic back- Large assortment of shapes, sizes, and colors- The pieces can be assembled in many, many different ways- Comes with several "puzzle" shapes that can be replicated by children- The magnetic whiteboard can be used in conjunction with those patterns/puzzles, or just for free play- Everything fits in the wooden box
