Melissa & Doug Pattern Blocks and Boards

This Melissa and Doug toy is great for young children working on concepts such as numbers, shapes, colors, and pattern recognition.  Children use the included high-quality non-toxic toys to match the patterns on the included cards.  Cards show everything from fraction concepts to fun scenes with animals and trains.

This toy is a puzzle and a building activity.  Young kids can match the basic outlines of the enclosed shapes on the Basic level cards.  Pre-schoolers use this activity to learn about shapes, colors, and sizing.  As they grow, older children can use the blocks to make scenes on the included cards.  They'll have fun while figuring out which shapes they need to make animals, landscapes, and more.

After practicing on the enclosed cards, kids can use the pattern blocks to make scense of their own.
