Here’s one from a friend: I’m loving these pattern blocks!!! I made a different design like this earlier toda, with the 180 degree symmetry, and whenever [my daughter] added a block I would add its partner; we had a pretty good game going for 10 minutes or so.
Can you use a block (or tile) to build a larger version of itself? How many blocks does it take?
Can you build a shape with 9 sides? (i.e., a nonagon?) These don’t have equal sides, but can you make one that does have equal sides?

They make you want to pick them up and start creating and building... This is truly a product with endless possibilities for open-ended play.
