there is a key to get the page translated into English, but it makes no difference - TOO HARD and it gave me a headache looking at it! I would LOVE to see what some of you really talented quilters could do with it!

We want to soothe children with our quilts, entertain them with truck paths, textures and colors, or make them smile with comforting animals.

Thanks WMU, I was planning on making to help my child's brain development. lol Poor thing lol
What's your thought on the tumbling blocks?

Tumbling blocks are much, much less visually challenging. The illusion of movement or the stacking of the blocks that present themselves as dimensional is something that young children ignore until they are "ready" to see it. They will discover it later. A child that is of 5, 6 or 7 can actually create the tumbling blocks pattern with parquetry blocks, common in pre-K, kindergarten and early elementary classrooms, and explain what is happening. It is a great discovery for them and they love it. Much less visually and mentally complicated than the "bubble" illusion.
