Très bon kit rapport qualité prix pour homescholling

My 5 year old was delighted to play with this set. There's a nice variety on offer which has kept him entertained most mornings this past week, making numberblock figures and making amazing creatures out of the pattern blocksThe set comes in a plastic bag which in turn contains multiple bags with each 'manipulative' type in its own bag. Being critical, there's a lot of plastic bags here I'd have rathered seen these come in a box or something a little less wasteful. Also the instruction manual was bent given the lack of packaging.In the set you get: some base 100, base 10 and base 1 blocks for doing counting up to 1000; some Cuisenaire rods; some snap cubes (similar to their Math Link cubes but with a different connector type); pattern blocks which can be used to make bigger shapes; colour tiles and a geared clock (where if you move the minute hand the hour hand also moves).My 5 year old loved the pattern shapes, as there were enough of them to make some intricate shapes (see his insect he made in the pics) and also loved the snap cubes (as he loves Numberblocks and gave him an opportunity to make some shapes). I did think the colour tiles though we're a little basic even for Key Stage 1... I wasn't comfortable giving the set to my younger child though with all the small bits.The activity guide wasn't used in favour of using his imagination but there looked like some interesting exercises you could do in there.Overall £28 seems a lot to pay for some plastic and foam, but individually you can pay quite a bit for some of these items in isolation and may get far too many pieces whereas this set is just right for solo play. My son certainly has enjoyed using it so on that basis I recommend.

This is all that I got with my order. It does not have the interlock blocks nor the cuisineair rods…very disappointed.Also the materials are cheap flimsy foam.I’m very disappointed. This is not what is advertised in the ad or their own product packaging.
