Beautiful Pattern Blocks

Symmetrical designs

I love wooden pattern blocks. They feel good to the touch, come in bright colors, and are wonderful for creating beautiful designs. We have a large collection of them in a basket in our living room, and whenever I put them out on the coffee table, people of all ages can’t seem to resist playing with them.

Pattern block trays are fun to fill with a variety of designs.
