Learning Resources LSP0949-UK MathLink Cubes Numberblocks 1-10 Activity Set & Numberblocks Numberblob Counting Set, Maths Counters for Kids, Maths Teaching Resources

I bought both sets of blocks so we had 0-20 for my son for Xmas. These need assembling and lots of stickers to go on the face plates but my son actually enjoyed that part of it too! There are several face pltes so you can put the blocks in the different formations that you see on the TV. This product does require some knowledge of the programme/songs and without this you loose much of the appeal as a learning resource in their own right, but the programme is easily available on BBC iPlayer and watching my son act out bits from the programme and consolidating his number knowledge has been brilliant- he hasn't even realised he is learning and his number knowledge is fantastic!This set comes with 0-10 blocks and plenty of spare 1s 2s and 3s to experiment with different numbers. You also get the alternative shapes for 4, 5 and 6 (7-10 you only get blocks for the one shape, but faceplates to change them and make the others) with lots of activity flashcards from the series.I have to say that the stickers are truly terrible, even after careful application these were peeling off within the first hour of play and that is why I've only given 4 stars, however with a bit of research I found a work around and coated all of the face plates with decopage glue which solved the problem perfectly!

Interesting. But the design tend to encourage user focus more on making the figure than on learning maths, as the building method is a bit clumsy.

My son just absolutely loves these, easy to connect and gets him counting, so great value.

Really helpful learning game

My three year old has been obsessed with this set from the second she opened it. We haven't really played the activities yet but she loves making the characters and getting them to talk and play together. Also, may be a coincidence but her recognition of numbers went from occasionally getting the right one to always knowing which number is which on the little plastic toppers within a week. Absolutely amazing!

It's been 4 days since Xmas and the only thing my son plays with are these. From sunrise to sunset. He loves them if you have a child who loves numberblocks then this is the one gift I will say to get. He's 2 by the way and knows tye numbers by heart.

Well. In that this is the second box I've bought I obviously like these, however the fact I needed to buy another box is why less than 5 stars. The stickers eventually deteriorate and peel up at the edges and with (admittedly a lot of abuse) the connections between the blocks eventually start to become slightly less secure in holding together, though they still work. If I could easily have bought stickers there's less of a chance I'd have purchased again. (Good ploy, marketing department! ;) )However if you have more blocks you can add to your block pool, so more is also good.These have been hands down amazing helping my daughter to count and add and subtract in conjunction with the TV show that she is obsessed with. If they were just a bit more durable they'd get 5 stars.

These are fantastic, my 4yr old hasn't put them down since.ce receiving these as a xmas present. Amazing buy.
