Choking Hazard Research
This is a 250-piece set of small, flat wooden shapes. The retailer states it is not for children under 3, and the listing is labelled for ages 3 and older. Individual blocks are around 1 cm thick and small enough to be a choking risk for a child who still mouths objects. SafeNest has not physically measured them. Keep the set away from younger siblings and count pieces back into the tub after use.
Wording reflects publicly available product information. SafeNest has not physically measured or tested this product. Follow the current packaging, warnings and supervision guidance.

Pros
- Six shapes and colours cover symmetry, tessellation and fractions
- 250 pieces is enough for two children to work at once
- Wood holds its edge far better than foam or thin plastic
- Storage tub included, which matters for a set this size
Cons
- Small parts make it unsuitable around children under 3
- Pieces scatter and are easy to lose without a dedicated tray
- No pattern cards included, so you supply the prompts
