Pattern Block Puzzles

Mikey has had these pattern block puzzles since 2014. At first, we took turns, block by block, copying the pictures on the cards.

At the time, I shared that he couldn’t do them independently, yet.  But, over time, he got more independent.

journal entry: “i am getting very good at pattern block puzzles!” 9 photos of Mikey working on different pattern block puzzles

Now, Mikey can do these on his own and he still enjoys doing them.  How great is that?!?
