Pattern Block Shapes Math Manipulatives for Learning Multicolor Triangles, Squares, Hexagons, and more Easy-Punch Paper Shape Cutouts in 7 Bright Colors US Made Card Stock (882 Pcs)

Perfect for the class to construct their own images using stickers instead of the pattern blocks. A quiet center activity for young children to complete when guided by a task card. Best of all, they get to take it home.

We used these shapes at church day camp for a craft where children designed mini "barn quilts". They glued the pieces to chip board in quilt-inspired designs. Pieces were consistently sized and brightly colored. I found it odd that the pages weren't optimized for using the entire page of cardstock. I would have connected all the pieces directly to each other to get more pieces per page as well as make punching them out faster. Instead each shape was surrounded by white space that is discarded. You end up using maybe half the page of cardstock for the perforated shapes.

I purchased these paper pattern block shapes for our Pre-K classes to use during an attribute sorting activity, and they worked wonderfully. The variety of shapes is a huge plus—especially since sets like this don’t always include options like rhombuses and hexagons. It really allowed us to expand the learning and give students more opportunities to compare and sort. The pieces are well-made and easy for little hands to use. While there is a bit of prep involved in punching the shapes out, they are nicely pre-cut, so the process is quick and not difficult at all. Overall, this is a great resource for hands-on math activities and a valuable addition to any early childhood classroom.

Pieces are a little smaller than I hoped. My kinder/first grade students had a harder time getting shapes out.

I ordered these for my students to create their own animal out of shapes for an activity we were doing at the conclusion of our shapes lesson. These were easy to push out of the perferated cuts. The kids loved it. There were tons of colors in every shape and I had enough for all my students to use them this year and will have enough for next year.
