Viga - Coloured Pattern Blocks - 50 pcs

50-Piece Coloured Wooden Pattern Blocks with Storage Bucket — Ages 3 Years+

Pattern blocks are one of the most enduring tools in early childhood learning — and for good reason. The Viga Coloured Pattern Blocks set gives children 50 brightly coloured wooden pieces in a range of geometric shapes: hexagons, triangles, squares, rhombuses, and trapezoids. They arrange into tessellating patterns, symmetrical designs, pictures, and mathematical layouts. Every time a child sits down with them, something different emerges. The included storage bucket keeps all 50 pieces together and ready to use.

What’s in the Box

• 50 coloured wooden pattern blocks in multiple geometric shapes
• Storage bucket for easy organisation and pack-away

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• A genuine early maths tool: Pattern blocks are a staple of Montessori and Reggio-inspired classrooms because they build geometric thinking, spatial reasoning, and symmetry recognition in a hands-on way. Children develop these skills through play — without it feeling like a lesson.
• 50 pieces means real creative range: With 50 pieces across multiple shapes and colours, children have enough material to create large, complex designs and repeat patterns. The set doesn’t run out of blocks mid-build.
• Colour and shape together: Each shape comes in a consistent colour, which helps children sort, categorise, and notice relationships between shapes. The visual coding adds a layer of mathematical richness that plain wooden sets lack.
• Open-ended and endlessly replayable: There’s no single correct outcome with pattern blocks. Children can follow a design card, recreate something they saw, or build freely. The set works for independent play, parallel play, and collaborative family sessions.
• Grows with the child: At 3, it’s colour sorting and simple arrangements. At 5, it’s symmetry and pattern making. At 7, it’s fractions and area. The same set of blocks supports years of increasing mathematical sophistication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shapes are included?

The set includes the standard pattern block shapes: hexagons, triangles, squares, rhombuses, and trapezoids, each in a distinct colour. These shapes are specifically designed to tessellate — meaning they fit together without gaps — which is what makes pattern blocks so versatile for design and maths work.

What age is this suited for?

The set is recommended from 3 years, when children have the fine motor skills and attention span to begin arranging pieces intentionally. The set continues to offer genuine challenge and value well into primary school, particularly for maths and spatial reasoning activities.

Can this be used for school or homeschool maths activities?

Yes — pattern blocks are a widely used manipulative in early primary maths education. They support lessons on geometry, fractions, symmetry, area, and pattern recognition. Many teachers and homeschooling parents use them as a hands-on alternative to worksheets for these concepts.

Are the materials safe?

Yes — the blocks are made from high-quality wood and painted with non-toxic paints. They are safe for children from 3 years of age.
