Woopie Green "Brain Training" is a Montessori wooden puzzle for children aged 3 and up: recreate the pictures on the cards with colourful blocks. 55 pieces and three difficulty levels.

This Montessori wooden pattern puzzle grows with your child. It includes 20 double-sided cards with 40 pictures at different levels and 35 colourful wooden blocks in different shapes. Children can copy the patterns, learn shapes and colours or create their own designs. Another variation is memorising a pattern and rebuilding it from memory. The pieces are wooden with rounded, safe edges, and the manufacturer states the wood is FSC certified. Everything stores in a sturdy box with a handle that is easy to take on trips. It suits girls and boys alike.

What your child develops

• Manual skills. Arranging blocks takes precision and builds hand-eye coordination.
• Imagination and creativity. Own designs encourage independent, creative thinking.
• Logical thinking. Rebuilding a picture from a card trains analysis and planning.
• Concentration. The game needs focus and a systematic approach.
• Memory. Recreating patterns from memory strengthens recall.

How to play

Start with the easiest cards: your child finds the blocks they need and arranges them on or next to the card. Move gradually to harder pictures.

For a memory game, let your child study a picture, turn the card over and ask them to rebuild it. The box with handle is handy for visits.

Why a wooden puzzle

Wooden blocks have a pleasant weight and texture and are durable and eco-friendly. The sturdy box helps keep things tidy.
