Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Learning Resources who makes a wide variety of educational toys and games for children. When you visit the Learning Resources web site…you can shop as a Parent or as a Teacher. Furthermore, you can shop by age group, category, by brand or by subject. I love how user-friendly the Learning Resources site is!
You will find activity sets & books, construction sets, active learning & play sets, discovery & exploration sets, electronic toys, games, puzzles, water & sand toys and a whole lot more! Everything on their site is extremely well-made and affordable.
New for 2014 is the Geometric Shapes Building Set from Learning Resources. This building set is for children ages 5 and up or in grades K and up. All of the building pieces come nicely packaged in a reusable plastic tub for storage.
Included are 170 pieces as follows:
* 32 Curves
* 24 Red Connectors
* 24 Orange Connectors
* 90 Sticks (various sizes and colors)
We got this set for our 5 year old grand daughter Gia who loves to sit down and build things. She has various types of building sets but what interested us with this one is that it is really different than others she already owns. Plus, it comes with 170 pieces which gives kids a lot of building opportunities. I hate when building sets come with a “few” pieces and then parents/grandparents have to purchase add-ons.
What s really cool with this set is that it allows children to build various shapes in 2D and 3D…all kinds of different shapes that they can dream up. All of the pieces are perfectly sized for the small hands of children, so it is easy for them to build these shapes without the help from an adult.
The set is great for creative play and can help children to learn their colors, shapes, counting, eye & hand coordination and so forth. It does so in a fun way that really sparks their creativity.
Gia has been playing with this set for several weeks now and loves it. Does she play with it every day? No…but she does get it out and play with it pretty often. My husband loves to sit and build things with her & this set has been keeping them both very occupied which makes this grandma pretty happy! Yay!

Learning Resources is definitely one of the coolest sites I’ve seen as far as developmental kids’ toys go.
