Cute Tangram Puzzle Block Set for Weather!
I really like the picture backgrounds. Has a variety of levels in difficulty from card to card. You could pose questions to go with each card and use as a science or math center. Very durable pieces and cards.

A child's puzzle with durable plastic pieces but flimsy cards
This box comes with ~10 cards with printed images on the front and back (20 total scenes). The cards have some great art with high-quality images. Each image has blank places where you can place the plastic shapes that are also included. Each card has a difficulty ranking (1-4), and you can see the pieces required in the top-righthand corner on the more difficult puzzles. The cards feel thin and would be somewhat easy to tear or bend if a child isn't being careful.The colored shape pieces are very durable plastic and have a high-quality feel to them. They cannot be bent and I'm sure a child would not be able to break or snap them in two without some serious effort. They come in a mix of colors and shapes, which are designed to match the included cards.My 8-year-old enjoyed playing with the pieces, even without the cards. They can also be stacked or balanced on their sides. My 2.5-year-old is below the recommended age, but was very interested in the set and it kept his attention for a while. It was difficult for him to place the shapes in the correct spot, because there are no physical boundaries to guide where you are placing the pieces (like you would have with a wooden cut-out puzzle). They easily slide out of position if you touch or bump them while trying to place additional pieces. He was having fun, but without supervision I'm sure he would eventually damage the cards and lose the pieces.Overall, it is a quality product with solid plastic pieces and is worth the asking price. The cards look great, but feel a bit too flimsy for young children. It won't be a problem if your child is very careful and particular, but the cards will probably not survive rough play. The pieces can be difficult to place correctly since they easily slide around on the cards. This would be a great purchase for a 4-6 year-old child that likes manipulating small objects with precision and care, but not as good for very young children or children who are rough with their toys.

Unique block colors for the theme
This set has a “seasons” theme with a set of cards for each season along with unique colored blocks. These blocks are not the traditional colors of these shape blocks, so there is an additional level of challenge for the kids to use the colors associated with each season. This is also an opportunity to teach children about “cool” and “warm” colors.The cards vary from easy to hard for each season. The cards are of moderate quality and thickness, but are not laminated.The blocks come in a recyclable but not resealable bag which I get they are wanting to make more environmentally friendly, but means I will just have to use my own resealable plastic bag.🤷♀️This is not a very large set, but good for one or two children at a time. You can find more online activities using these standard shaped blocks (but remember these are not the standard colors).

Just like when I was a kid!
These are just like the ones I had when I was a kid. The packaging was nice and I liked that the blocks were bagged so they weren’t moving around during shipping. Each shape comes in two colors. The pieces are plastic and very lightweight. This says for ages 3 and up. However, because some of the pieces are pointed, I probably wouldn’t let a child that young play with them unless supervised. Otherwise they could accidentally hurt themselves on the diamonds and triangles. But it looks like a great learning tool and is nostalgic for me since I had a lot of fun playing with them as a kid.

Very nice boxed set- and very versatile! and NOT JUST FOR KIDS- made from 100% recycled plastic
My family loves tangram puzzles. This is a great set -not just for the littles. The multi-skill level cards are vinyl coated so easily wiped clean and the plastic shape pieces are colorful and easy to wipe down/wash. Great kit for kids learning shapes, but the pieces are fun for the whole family. The enclosed cards are helpful with getting youngsters visually conditioned to see shapes within pictures and replicating a picture using multiple shapes. I am not an educator, as maybe this product was intednd with the lesson plan, but I can see how if this were intended for that demographic-the cards would maybe be too flimsy (unless they were re-laminated to make sturdier and the kit wouldn't be enough for a standard classrroom (as in number of cards and puzzle pieces); however, the size and durability seems great for home school or home use. Etsy stores or even google has printable tangrams puzzles, so the plastic shapes can also be used for those tangram puzzles instead of using printed paper shapes. I love this set for my family and look forward to getting the others available. The box is nice and sturdy. Overall, I think this is a great kit and very well priced and can be used for any age- from the prescribed starting age and up (above the age of tots who put things in their mouths-I can see where the small pieces could be a choking hazard). The box states 3+ which seems appropriate, but the title seems very limiting to note ages 4-8, had I not opened the listing to further investigate I would have negated this item based on the title limiting the age range. Similar tangrams sets I've seen on amazon don't necessarily have the [lesson plans]. I would highly recommend this set for home use

Very nice set
I got this for my grandson when he’s older. I wasn’t paying attention when I ordered this to be honest so we won’t be getting it out for several years. Lol as he’s only 1.5 yrs old 😁But I did open this up and I done it myself. It’s actually fun! But definitely for older kids. Great way to learn shapes and puzzles. The pieces are sturdy & the entire set is well made so I would definitely recommend.Hope this helps you with your decision & happy shopping 🛍️

Juegos perfectos para niños
Marca que conozco de haber probado varias veces sus productos, y me gusta porque son muy tradicionales, huyendo de todo lo moderno que incluye pantallas, dispositivos y demás.El Set der puzzles es completo y me gusta mucho, al peque también.Recomendable.

Educational learning that can be lots of fun!
The media could not be loaded. Excellent educational tile game with good quality tiles and a clear instruction guide, although you can use the tiles for early counting and sorting too. There are 10 double sided puzzle cards, giving you 20 activities - each card has a level number code on so the difficulty of activity varies. This is a simple, educational game/puzzle set that you can make as easy or difficult as they need. The cards are numbered 1-20 so it also allows you to discuss even and odd numbers. I’d also use the tiles for counting - asking them to sort and count by the shape. There’s also the seasons to discuss, especially regarding the colours you’d see in nature during the seasons. I’ve been using sets like this for 30 years with pre-school ages (and my own son) and they were always interested in them. They are useful if you have a few children under 5 or run a childcare group with different ages as you they have 4 levels. I found older children will help the younger ones, to show off what they already know!You can start off with basic matching shapes to the shapes on the card, discussing the shape until they can identify the shape on their own. I’d also discuss the number of sides it has so you include basic counting, even if they can’t count in order yet. The next level you move to shape and colour until they can identify both on their own. Level 3 is matching colourless shapes to create a picture - this is a good activity when they are showing signs they don’t want to learn. They are still learning by creating a puzzle but they can be creative with colour and it won’t feel like learning! Level 4 is trickier, they get a blank picture and a shape guide with amount needed. For younger children you can pick out the tiles they need, older children will want to do it themselves.This set is priced at £25, I think that is reasonable as the quality is good. The only thing I’d criticise is the lack of a drawstring storage bag for the tiles, a paper envelope isn’t enough. It’s still worthy of 5 stars though.

Learn and play
Its a toy combined with learning sharp, counting, matching, seasons and weather. Its come with 100 pieces quality pieces and 10 puzzles cards, it might be still a little challenge for 3 years old kids but it can be interactive with kids, learn in play for 20 quid toy its not a bad deal.

A mis pequeños de 4 y 6 años les ha gustado bastante el juego porque es muy entretenido y les encantan los animales.Yo ya conocía la marca de otros juguetes que les he comprado y me suele gustar bastante sus materiales porque en general me parecen muy educativos aunque no del todo económicos.Viene bien presentado en una caja de cartón apta para regalo.Incluye 10 plantillas de cartón tamaño folio a doble cara de colores con animales hechos con formas geométricas, algunos con los huecos en blanco para colocar las piezas de plástico reciclado que vienen en un sobre de cartón reciclado.Las plantillas incluyen paisajes de huertas, perro, pulpo, tiburón, mono, mariposa, elefante, pez, pájaro, ballena, nutrias, murciélago y castores.Las piezas son de plástico duro reciclado con un peso y textura curioso y lo forman un total de 100, con diferentes formas y colores:- 20 rombos.- 10 hexágonos.- 20 triángulos.- 16 trapezoides.- 14 cuadrados.- 20 paralelogramos.Además incluye un pequeño folleto en varios idiomas (castellano incluido) con curiosidades sobre los animales y las formas de juegosLas formas las pueden usar sin las plantillas para hacer dibujos con su imaginación.El juego está genial para fomentar la imaginación, la creatividad, los conceptos especiales, la motricidad fina, la coordinación ojo mano, el aprendizaje de formas, colores, números y animales.La relación calidad precio está genial con la oferta actual ya que no llega a los 20, pero sin oferta me parece bastante pasado de precio.El paquete llegó en el tiempo estimado sin incidencias.Espero haberte servido de ayuda!
