I always thought I had the “Math Gene” until I met my husband. \u00a0I mean I always excelled in Math and really loved it, but my husband is a mathematical genius and he has his masters in mathematical sciences so I pale in comparison to him. \u00a0We both love toys and games that stimulate our children in learning mathematical concepts in a fun challenging way. \u00a0When I was asked to review some things from MindWare\u00a0Toys<\/a>, I was in Heaven. \u00a0I picked Pattern Play because it is a great introduction to math concepts like sorting, matching, symmetry, congruence and fractions. This high-quality set fits just-so into its wood tray, with vibrant colors and unusual shapes that build spatial skills. Includes 40 exceptionally well-finished wood blocks, a 10.5″-square wood building tray, 40 Pattern Cards and a drawstring canvas storage bag.<\/p>\n

This set can be used from toddlers right on up. \u00a0It has the capability to be as challenging as you make it. \u00a0It truly is a learning toy that will grow with your child. \u00a0Your child will learn important math concepts that will be the foundation to build upon throughout their lives. \u00a0I may be a little geeky but I love toys like this because there are so many ways to use them and they are so stimulating to your child. \u00a0This set is superior quality and is great for the home or classroom.<\/p>\n

Mommy Ramblings loves Pattern Play so much, we are adding it to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide<\/a>. \u00a0Pattern Play makes the perfect gift for just about any child on your gift list.<\/p>\n
