Play With Me ~ Interlox

This month our Play With Me toy a wonderful and simple building toy from Guidecraft ~ Interlox.  Interlox are plastic squares that can be clipped together to create and build. No screws. Nothing fancy ~ just clip and build. The squares all intersect as specific points and are made out of plastic, so you cannot bend and make curves, but overall are sturdy {recommended for ages 3 and up}.

Here are a few fun things that you can do and create with the Interlox to extend your learning with your little one:

Sort by the shape that is on the squares ~ we found diamonds, circles, starts, hearts, flowers, and octagons.

Sort by color…

Play mailman and drop the pieces through a slit in the top of an oatmeal container!

See how high you can stack and balance them.

Create a garage for some of your vehicles.

Sort by color and have fun counting them together.

A few more ideas for using Interlox:

• create simple color patterns {orange, yellow, orange, yellow}
• create simple shape patterns {circle, square} with the shapes on the pieces
• create a hands-on graph with the pieces once you have sorted by color ~ which color do you have more of?

Interlox can be purchased directly from the Guidecraft website, via their NEW Facebook page or from Amazon.

Much thanks to Guidecraft who provided this toy for us to use and review as a part of the Guidecraft Mom Bloggers team.
