Learning Resources Three Bear Family Pattern Cards, Homeschool, Early Math Skill Learning, Bears Not Included, Ages 3+

My 4 year old really enjoyed playing with the bear counters, and the cards, and figuring out which bears come next in the sequence. The only problem, small that it is, is that I purchased the scales (with the 102 baby bears,) not paying enough attention that these cards have sequences that use the entire "3 Bear Family..." Of course, the baby bears are all the same size, so I made my way back to Amazon's website and purchased the 96(?)-3 Bear Family counters (with the inclusion of Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear...) I was disappointed at first to realize that we couldn't do all of the cards when they arrived, but I am really happy that they do include size differences on the cards. It adds another level for them to grow into. This really encourages her to think, and introduces patterns and sequences in a really nice, fun way. She loves them, and I love that we both get to work together with them.

We love our counting bears and these pattern cards are a fantastic addition. Outstanding toy to help kiddos on many levels: sorting, learning colors, counting, understanding patterns, visual discrimination, and basic bath concepts. These pattern cards will take the counting bears to the next level. Fantastic educational toy. The cards themselves are well-made, of a good size, and sturdy cardstock. Laminating them would be a good idea!

I was initially hesitant to buy this product because of the price but the puzzles are geared to make kids think. The ability to grasp and predict patterns is an important skill in today's world and this was a great way to introduce it to my 3 year old. She loves it. It is neither too tough nor too easy. With a little nudge and focus, it can be a very satisfying activity for a toddler.

This is a great center activity for a classroom or home setting. Kids learn patterns, sorting small and big bears as well as color recognition. Cards are laminated so they will last! You just need to buy cheap bears (small and large) online or educational store!

As a former teacher, I'm always on the lookout for educational games or toys that will help in school later on. These pattern cards can probably be found in any kindergarten or preschool classroom. My 5 year old has enjoyed patterning with these. The bears (sold separately) are also fun manipulatives that teach sorting, counting, patterning, colors, size, etc. I find it a little bit tricky to find the appropriate sized bear to match the card. I have to actually lay the bear on the picture to make sure it's the medium size and not the large size, etc. But overall, I've given these cards + bears as gifts now. I think the little ones who really like ordering things and lining up toys will also find these fascinating (think a little OCD :)

Theses are well made and my toddler loves matching her bears to them. These have definitely helped with learning different types of patterns.

Love any Learning Resources products I’ve received and these are no exception to that. Great quality and such a helpful teaching tool!

My fault for not paying attention, but the bear counters are *not* included. Pattern cards are as expected.
