The next level of shapes puzzles

Bought this for my sons 5th birthday, he finished all the Mighty Minds puzzles and was looking for something more challenging. For those looking for something more complex this is an excellent pick, lots of variety in designs, takes up very little space, and requires no instruction. My only complaint is the pieces are almost to small, for this reason it would probably be better suited for slightly older kids or at least those with good fine motor skills.
A great toy

My almost 4 year old son liked this right away. We compose complex patterns together and he spends time just fitting pieces next to each other without a particular pattern.

We gave Fractiles7 to our grandson for his 7th birthday. He started playing with it with his two friends as soon as he opened it. It was unreal watching the 3 of them creating together. This has become Sean's favorite toy. He is spending hours playing, creating and learning with it.
A great activity for kids and adults

This game is a great representation of why I love having kids in this era. It can't get any better than learning while you're having fun.
Fractiles is a great way for kids to learn geometry and patterns. The visual component is powerful and hey, it's fun at the same time. I love that we can all sit down together to play with this toy but that it is equally entertaining for them to do on their own. Plus, I'm hooked on it as much as they are. I would highly recommend Fractiles. You'll be amazed by how hard it is to put it down.
