I love Melissa and Doug classic toys. I love the solid wood and the size of the pieces. I also love the retro feel and the tie to games referenced in old child development textbooks. One toy in particular has struck me and my daughter's fancy: pattern blocks and boards.
This toy consists of boards with some classic pictures. Kids match shape blocks to the pattern board to create the picture. This toy teaches children to develop a sense of shapes in objects, patterns, and size and proportion. These skills translate into math, art and engineering skills. Another great thing about this toy is that it grows with the child and more difficulty and creativity can be added as your child gets older.
