Fractiles-7 for ages 6 to adult
COMPANY: Fractiles, Inc.
Make dazzling designs from these magnetic diamond-shaped tiles of three different widths: fireworks, mandalas, flowers, pinwheels.Or experiment with freeform arrangements. Maybe try some of the games, or the puzzles that have multiple solutions. Whether children start by copying the more than 40 designs shown, or by independent explorations, they will become thoroughly engrossed in the patterns taking shape on the steel background board. Those who wish to learn more about the principles of symmetry will find a well-illustrated explanation of the math behind the art.
