You can use them for colour sorting or having your child reproduce patterns that you've made. Hands down, buy puzzles. The world is continuing to expand.

Playing school offers an opportunity for children to show off and practice their newfound math, reading, and writing skills. At this stage, a child's individual interests emerge.
