Why did you pick this product vs others?:Exactly what I was looking for.

Good quality paper and easy and fast to punch out. I used for tangrams in a classroom and they worked great!

Perfecto para mi proyecto!

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.

These are so fun to work with! My students are learning about pattern block shapes and I can't wait to create fun designs with them.

I love the great colors in this pack. The shapes are great and pretty easy to punch out for yourself. The downside is that the paper is thin. I do not think they will last long with young children. It would be great if it were more sturdy like lamented.

Fun cut outs for learning or art projects. Good quality paper & bright colors. Perfect for my needs.

Love pattern blocks where kids can experiment and see the relationships between different shapes (two trapezoids make a hexagon, for instance). The pieces punch out easily and are fairly sturdy, while still being paper. I’ve shared similar pattern blocks with elementary, middle, and high school aged kids, and everyone enjoys them.The difference here is that you have to punch them out, so it’s not as easy to grab and go. That said, you also get a lot more pieces. Whereas the acrylic pieces I’ve used are great for playing and then putting away, there are enough pieces here that kids can make their designs permanent, mounting them on whatever they choose. I can see them just on paper but also being used to decorate a chest of drawers, for instance. So it’s nice that there are enough pieces to do that sort of thing.So it really depends on what you want. I think there’s room for both, although I personally prefer the acrylic pieces where I don’t have to worry about bending and fading. That said, I still recommend these, especially if you want the kids to make more permanent patterns.
