"This is a great travel toy. The size of
the board and the magnetic surface makes it
great for the airplane or car. It encourages
creativity and builds visual-spatial skills.
My husband is having as much fun using it as
my 6 year old."

"I purchased two of these, one each for
my daughters--5 and 7. They absolutely enjoy
working and designing with this product. They
don't even realize they are learning as they
create. Hours passed by on the plane as they
put together countless designs to be shown to
others. This item is a wonderful idea as it
is neither too difficult for my 5 year-old nor
too easy for my 7 year-old. Each created beautiful
designs from the start without it being too
frustrating. I would recommend this product
for children 5 and over especially while traveling
because it truly engages children."
"Our children, ages six and seven, just play
with Fractiles all the time! We bring it in
the car for long rides and it really keeps them
content. Fractiles is a wonderful travel toy!" - Terry, Mother of Two
"My
grandchildren have enjoyed the Fractiles set
I purchased for them at the Orlando Museum of
Art more than anything I have given them in
a long time. As chair person of the committee
selecting the merchandise, I have researched
Museum Stores for a year, testing children's
things on my granddaughters, age 12 and grandson,
age 9. These are the best thing yet! The whole
family has enjoyed them and they are super for
travel!" - Diane B. Crichlow, Museum
