Frequently Asked Questions
The Melissa & Doug Wooden Pattern Blocks and Boards set is recommended for children aged 3 years and up. The design boards provide guided challenges for beginners, while the open-ended block play supports creativity and geometry exploration for older preschoolers and kindergarteners.
The 120-piece block set includes a variety of geometric shapes - hexagons, triangles, squares, rhombuses (diamonds), and trapezoids - in multiple vibrant colours. This variety of shapes introduces children to early geometry concepts and allows for rich, complex pattern-making.
The 20 design boards show coloured patterns and pictures that children can recreate by placing the matching shape blocks on top. This guided play builds shape recognition, colour matching, and spatial reasoning. Once children master the boards, they can use the blocks freely to invent their own designs and pictures.
