I wanted these for a math station in kindergarten. I bought two sets and have enough for 4-6 kiddos to work as long as take apart each shape before building a new shape. It has worked better as a station for 2 students.

When it comes to education, I am all into hands on fun. Geometry should be no different. Yes I can teach a circle and square by showing the kids a picture and having them copy it, but that is just not fun. I was thrilled when I found this shape game.When I opened the box, the first thing that struck me was the quality of the pieces. They are made of a heavy duty plastic that will stand up to a lot of uses. As for the cards, they are paper but made of a much thicker quality then most games.The game play is very simple. I have my girl start with the easies card. It was a square. On one side, it shows the pieces needed while on the other it shows how to assemble it. This is great for planning. It is important for kids to be all set up before they get started. I have them first select what they need and then they have to copy the picture. This is very straight forward and will teach the kids the basic shape through hands no touch. If this is not enough, on the bottom, it asks a question to test the logic. For example make this shape larger. The child now has to use different pieces to make a larger shape.My only issue, is that sometimes the connecters are a little loose. I would have like a product that snaps into place.The overall quality and durability of this product is amazing. It has been through a lot and still looks like new. I am very happy that kids can learn thorough hands on experiences geometry starting with the basic shapes and moving onto more advances 3-d shapes. It not only shows the kid what to do, but also tests some logic after the basics are mastered.

My four kids (11, 8, 6 and 4) REALLY like this set! The sticks are flexible rubber, which allows you to more easily make shapes, but they don't stay together as well. Also, if the kids are just free-building (not following the designs on the cards), they sometimes have trouble with the holes on the balls being at the correct angle...like they are making a square and need the holes to be at a 90 degree angle and they are actually at a 45 degree angle. Not sure if that makes sense. Just a minor frustration for my 4-year-old. Overally a very fun building set!!!

The weight of the connecting spheres means that structures are unstable, a little expensive too but robust.

very entertaining for new building dynamics for my son

Good Product
