The Woopie Green geoboard is a wooden board with pegs where children make shapes and patterns with coloured rubber bands. A creative game of imagination and logic from the eco GREEN series.

This wooden geoboard with rubber bands helps children develop manual skills, concentration and logical thinking. Stretch colourful bands over the pegs to create shapes and patterns from the cards or from imagination. The set has a wooden base with pegs, 48 coloured bands and 20 double-sided cards with 40 patterns at three levels. Add a memory challenge for extra fun. The pieces are rounded and safe, made of natural wood and non-toxic materials, and the manufacturer states the wood is FSC certified. The box has a handy carry handle.

What your child develops

• Manual skills. Stretching bands over pegs takes precise finger movements.
• Imagination and creativity. Own designs encourage experimenting.
• Logical thinking. Copying a pattern from a card trains analysis and planning.
• Concentration. Every detail of the pattern needs attention.
• Memory. Recreating patterns from memory builds visual memory.

How to play

Start with simple shapes – a triangle, a square, a star. Your child stretches the band over the pegs following the card. Move gradually to more complex patterns.

Older children can try rebuilding a pattern from memory or invent their own picture – a house, a boat or a sun – and let others guess it.

A great gift

The geoboard is a good gift for children aged 3 and up – something to bring when visiting, a birthday present or a travel game thanks to its handle.
