Timberdoodle's Review

Stages: Blocks

I knew it belonged in a Timberdoodle curriculum from the first time I saw Stages: Blocks. Vibrantly colored, solid wood blocks provide children with problem-solving situations, develop their spatial sense, and increase their motor planning abilities. 


But as teaching parents, we wanted more. What if we could combine the independent learning, free play, and imagination of block play with an introduction to pattern interpretation? Stages: Blocks does that and more.


Using the 40 small, custom-designed blocks and 120 picture cards, your child will progress from structures that use only one block to those that utilize all 40 blocks. The more elaborate designs will require focus, thought, careful stacking, and color, shape, and perspective skills. 


And if you need even more ideas, there is also a free, one-of-a-kind Stages Blocks app for iPhones and iPads. What a great way to sharpen focus and build necessary skills simultaneously!

Features

  • 40 custom-designed solid wood blocks in vibrant colors.

  • 100 cards of structures for children to recreate. These cards range from models comprised of one block to all 40 blocks to meet a wide range of abilities.
    20 "Pretend Play" cards of structures designed to look like objects - such as animals, foods, transportation, everyday objects, and more!

Great resource

I think this is a fantastic resource for fine motor skills and critical thinking. I think it would have served our family better if we would have bought this a little earlier but not that we have it I can't wait to use it with future children.

easy to use

The cards were great and loved that they had a space for me to write when it was completed. It was easier for my kiddos when I helped get the pieces for him. After a couple months, it was all independent work for him and he was able to do it without help.

So great!

Love the variety of activities you can do with these blocks! My daughter loves building the designs in the pictures...and then building her own creations!

Not for the easily frustrated

These are pretty blocks and it has a lot of nice cards that give you ways to build but if they fall over...watch out! Temper tantrum inducing for us. My son loves to build and loves blocks but I think he would enjoy magnetic ones more. These fall over really easy.
