Tieramid®
Pattern Cards™
Basic Information
Kid tested - Parent, Teacher and Therapist Approved.
Tieramid
Pattern Cards are designed to captivate the imagination while sharpening
mental agility. Each card has an image that represents a
possible configuration of Tieramid blocks in 2-D or 3-D. The cards are
designed in a tiered level of complication, from stages one through three,
with translations for Spanish, French, German and Italian. The patterns range
from the most basic tangram type animal shapes, to faces suggesting different
emotional expressions, to the far more complex multi-layer three dimensional
configurations. Ages 3 to adult.

“This spring we acquired a set of Tieramid
Pattern Cards, and boy, were we excited! I was very impressed with
the relative number of designs included (48 in all), my now eight year
old was sold on the title translations in French, German, Italian and Spanish,
and my 12 year old artist constructed a few designs and remarked at how
he had used his imagination to create some of them. My three year
old is enjoying the added benefit of the cards. In fact, one day we
used construction paper cut in the pattern of the shapes and made the ‘Elephant’
in a co-op class creating a very successful masterpiece to hang on our refrigerator
gallery.
P.S. My suggestion to parents would be to purchase a set or
two (we have two) and after their child has played with the blocks for
a good period of time (a couple of months) they can introduce the design
cards. I am sure they will be surprised that just by freely playing
with the blocks any child can use his imagination to create some of the
same designs on the cards. Don’t let this stop you from using the
cards, though. Even with the very creative and visual spatial learners
in our home school, there were many designs that we had not discovered…at
least, not yet.”
