Kids Love playing Patchwork by Knightweaver Games

A colorful matching game, Patchwork is the logical game of strategy that challenges kids to match cards to make 4, 5, or 6-of-a-kind.

The Patchwork Game rules are simple: each player draws 6 cards from the pile, keeping the side of the card that was facing up on the deck facing towards the other players. Then the fun begins!

Patchwork players collect sets of 4, 5, or 6 adjacent cards of the same color and pattern. Sounds easy, BUT in the Pathwork Game, players cards are not always their own because opponents can flip, swap and trade cards with one another when they see something the other player doesn’t!

When a player collects a set of cards, that player must show the other players, set them aside, and draw more cards. The player who collects the most cards is the Patchwork winner. Not an easy feat, for sure!

Patchwork takes about 15 minutes to play and is for 2 to 5 players, ages 5 and up, making this a great, interactive family game.

The Patchwork Game from Knightweaver Games includes:

  • 5 wooden card holders
  • 90 2-sided cards
  • 1 rules sheet
  • A player reference

Patchwork is The Learning Tree Toy Of The Week this week AND it’s 20% off for this week only! Limit 3 at the sale price.

ABC Classic Wood Blocks

We love these high-quality blocks! They are patterned after blocks from the turn-of-the-century with great animal illustrations along with the number and letters.

Made by Lindenwood, these wooden blocks are a big 1 3/4″ (44mm) cubed, and are finely crafted and painted with non-toxic inks.

Each block features a unique animal picture, a number or math symbol, and four letters (two embossed) for a total of four complete alphabets. Plenty for kids to learn their numbers and letters – and of course for stacking and building things!

Set includes 28 blocks.

These blocks are beautiful enough to decorate a child’s room as well as fun to play with and learn letters and numbers. For Ages 3+
