This is a very basic play set that will help your child develop language development and problem solving. The pieces are geometric foam pieces that match the designs on the pattern cards. As your child plays with them, they gain skills in solving problems plus they're developing eye-hand coordination, visual perception and other skills that are important for reading. Learning the shapes helps them to make the connection to letters. The foam pieces are easy to handle, not frustrating, and definitely one of the long lasting products in the Discovery Toys line. The bright shapes are easy to identify. There are 34 designs that are included.
