When possible, I like to provide Sawyer with toys that will be entertaining as well as educational – or at least supportive in his growth and development. The Rainbow Mosaic Pattern Puzzles from MindWare are a mixture of both, and I was happy when the company sent them for us to review in our home!
The first thing I noticed about the pieces were how large they are made. They are not something that could be a potential choking hazard. This is great for a toddler who still enjoys putting most things in his mouth! The puzzle pieces are also very colorful, and we use them as supplemental toys for reinforcing primary colors with the kiddo. The tiles are also a good learning tool for patterns, once Sawyer is old enough to understand simple math concepts.
This set from MindWare comes with 96 hexagonal tiles that can easily be interlocked as well as taken apart. This helps develop motor skills, an important growth period of toddlers my son’s age. It’s also good for eye-hand coordination. Also, with the amount of tiles included, 2-3 children could have fun playing with these together or separately…so it’s perfect if you have more than one kiddo at home!
There are also several cards in the box to give you ideas of what you can make with the pieces. Sawyer and James sat down to play with the Rainbow Mosaic Pattern Puzzles and it wasn’t long before they had built a flower. This toy fosters my son’s creativity along with all the other benefits of it!
One last thing – I was really happy to see that these puzzles were geared for kids ages 2 and up. So many cute toys out there – especially learning ones – are for 3 years old and up…so these are perfect for Sawyer right now.

That looks like a lot of fun for toddlers. I bet my 4 year old son would love those.
I love the nice chunky size of those and the colors are FABULOUS!
That looks like a great puzzle. It’s nice that the pieces are chunky for little hands.
That is such a cute puzzle! Mindware makes some very cool stuff.
I like the size and colors that are used. Also I like it that in one set there is enough for several children to play with.
Those are so cool! I love how it looks like a quilt when it’s put together
I love that they are not small enough to swallow and that they are bright colors and that they are educational.
I love the color and size of these and that they inspire imagination and creativity. Love that there hare enough pieces to share with more than one child.
That looks like so much fun! I enjoy the bright colors and the size of the pieces! You can make whatever you want with them! That’s awesome!
I think my son would like these! I am trying to teach him his colors, and these would definitely help!
My 4yr old is into making his things into patterns and these would be perfect for that. We could simply play and he would never know he was learning basic math skills. It is nice that they are big so my toddler could play and not choke if they ended up in his mouth.
wow that neat and would love to use it for the sitting kids
