Stages Blocks
From the first time I saw Stages Blocks I knew it belonged in a Timberdoodle curriculum. Traditional blocks provide our children with problem-solving situations, develop their spatial sense, and increase their motor planning abilities. But as teaching parents, we knew that if we could combine the independent learning, free play, and imagination of block play with an introduction to pattern interpretation, we would have a tool that would accommodate and challenge a wide range of abilities. Stages Blocks does that and more.
Beginning with the 40 small, custom-designed, vibrantly colored, solid wood blocks and using the 120 picture cards, your child will progress from copying pictures of structures that use 1 block up to 40 blocks. The more elaborate structures will require focus and thought, as well as careful stacking, color, shape, and perspective skills. And if you need 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 at the same time!
