Travel Fun Posted 6/7/2010 by Susan Garlinghouse - GRANDPARENT
Good toy to take along, car or plane, light weight and easy to share and compare creations. Adults enjoy also
Educational fun Posted 10/6/2010 by Joi Christy - EDUCATOR
It does take younger kids time to figure out how to manipulate the turtles to form more than just a line of turtles, however, older kids (8+) at my sites followed the book examples and were excited to show the others what they made. The intent for the toy was to give educational fun; fun that educated the kids without them knowing. Even older kids 12+ were able to understand the mathematical terms in the book and when they could see the final product understood it.
My rating of Reptangles Posted 9/5/2010 by Pam Stephan - GRANDPARENT
Not only did our grandson follow the booklet and make the different configurations, he made up some of his own. What a great product!

My nephew is a Lego's maniac and for his birthday he received a couple of new sets, but when he opened my present, he was not interested in the Legos! He fully focused his attention on the Retangles and didn't even play with the new Legos until the next day.

The possibilities and combinations keep my daughter busy. The unique design allows for several different solutions of advanced geometric shapes. I would not recommend this toy for young children who are easily frustrated. The snapping options are small and require pressure in some ways and a delicate touch in other ways. It's a cleverly designed building block.
Imaginative and Challenging Posted 1/20/2011
I have bought two sets of these. One for grandma's house for all the grandkids (and adults) and one for at home. They were a Christmas present for my daughter (4 yrs. old) and once showed what they could do, she really enjoyed them. She loves to make two turtles "dance" together. My two year old son also likes to stick a couple together. They are easy for little hands to put together and take apart. I bought this toy because I knew it was a toy that would grow with them and last several years. We have been happy with the purchase so far.
Turtles Unite! Posted 8/23/2010 by Jennifer Fey
These are cool--you can make so many three dimensional shapes, you forget they are turtles!
My rating of Reptangles Posted 8/4/2010 by Kiran - GRANDPARENT
It took a little while to figure out how to snap the turtles, once done it was a breeze. I like the box for storage. It is a great toy for eye hand coordination.
Great toy! Posted 7/30/2010
I got this toy for my Lego loving son. He loved building the shapes shown in the included workbook. He specifically asked to play with it for several days, taking it with him in the car and on a family camping trip. We have shared this toy with many of our friends and all the kids have loved it. It works well at a restarant, giving each kid a color to play with.
Nothing Slow and Boring about these reptiles! Posted 11/19/2010 by Melissa Mullins
My son is 4 and he absolutely loves Reptangles. I was a bit concerned because the age was 6+ but it just goes to show how adaptable the toy is to kids at almost any age. He loves stacking them, playing with them (interactive play), and building building building! Definitely worth the money. Great toy forthe holidays!
A rating of Reptangles Posted 6/19/2012 by Madeline Vann
I think this is a great product and very challenging, even for me as an adult. However I bought it for a 2-yr-old. What was I thinking? I must have been overly optimistic. It's shaped like turtles, which he loves, but it's too hard for him to play with (and he's - I think - stronger and smarter than average). So I will put it away and probably bring it out every couple of months until he and his brother (who is 5) are interested. Because it really is a great product. It's just not suitable for young kids.
Review of Reptangles Posted 3/7/2011 by Mary - EDUCATOR
I have purchased two sets for my class of 4 year olds. It required some practice but now that the children have experienced them they can't put them down.
Review of Reptangles Posted 12/29/2010 by Maureen
My son love the fact that there are an endless possibilities of things to make. It is a toy that lets their imagination and creativity come out plus it comes with a book of over 80 designs. He can sit with it forever.
Better than Imagined Posted 10/5/2011 by Joy Maddox
We only got this because it was rated so high and said it was a favorite of kids that liked building but it is an amazing toy. My 6 year old plays with it for hours at a time. So much fun for any age.
Unique toy Posted 12/15/2010 by Jo Ann - GRANDPARENT
3 1/2 yr old grandsons love it. Good challenging way to use their imaginations.
My rating of Reptangles Posted 12/9/2010 by Kimberly Lima-Ritacco - FRIEND
this was a gift for someone and it was a big hit. Parents love it also!
Bought as gift Posted 8/26/2012 by Megan Martin
I bought this as a gift for my friend's 5 year old son. I got a great response from her several weeks later. She said that she and her son play with this toy together. It is versatile and encourages imaginative play. I will definitely buy this again as a gift for another child!
Product review of Reptangles Posted 8/20/2012 by Jacqueline Hayes
Bought this for a six year old. He engaged with it immediately. Very soon his ten year old sister joined in. Before long their father joined them and they played with it several times. I know that it will be used frequently, which is what I was hoping.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/7/2011 by mary Fleming
My daughter who is 7 just loved these! She loved the shape and all of the different "creations" she could come up with!
A rating of Reptangles Posted 9/26/2011 by Linda Snyder
clever interlocking parts, bright colors imaginative, creates fine motor skills, can be used in more sophisticated ways as child advances. Although website listed this item as good for 4 year old boys, the manufacturer designated it as age 6 up. I sent it so he could grow with it, but was disappointed in your reviews not being monitored for age.
Reptangles Posted 2/13/2012 by Michael McCann - GRANDPARENT
The product was a birthday present for a 5 year old. It was the hit of the day with him and his 3 year old brother. They have received other construction playsets from Fat Brain and have enjoyed them, but this is the best so far. Once they got the hang of building with the reptangles they were used with play ninjas, cars, super heroes, dinosaurs and other things in extended epic stories. The versatility and durability of the reptangles promise a long enjoyment.
4yr old's new blocks Posted 10/10/2011
Shows it off to all the guests who visit us, he really marvels at all the different colors of the turtles. The product also encourages family participation, as everyone tries to make different structures.
Reptangles ROCK! Posted 7/18/2012 by Cindy Lance
The product is great, I purchase the reptangle for my son and he loves them. He will definitively be using them more often as he gets older. He is anxious to want to replicate the samples in the guide book. The fun shape of the reptangles makes it very attractive to my curious little guy. I will buy another set as he gets older so he can make and expand on his designs.

My 6 yr old grandson was a lego fan ,so I saw these and read the great reviews and they were right. He absolutly loves them and is coming up with great designs he couldn't do with legos. I love your company and this product and look forward to trying others you carry. Thank You.
Review of Reptangles Posted 1/10/2011 by Kate Harley
Great way to spark imagination! Both my 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter love to play with these. Fun to play with and easy to keep stored in its own box.
Review of Reptangles Posted 12/29/2010 by Howard Wolf
My grandchildren are interested in games that will keep them stimulated and challenged. I have found that you have the greatest selection of games which are enjoyable and stimulating for kids. Keep up the good work!!! The grandchildren came over with their parents. It was a battle as to who would play with the Reptangles. Everyone wanted a chance to play with the Reptangles. I was pretty sure that this would happen so I ordered two boxes of Reptangles. I should have ordered more.
My rating of Reptangles Posted 5/29/2012 by Jane Behler
Very durable easy to use many children play with it
Fun and challenging! Posted 12/29/2010 by Judy Marshall - GRANDPARENT
The little turtles are just so darn cute! Then when you find out how many different things you can do with them, they are downright amazing. Lots of playtime on Christmas Day, but have barely scratched the surface!
A rating of Reptangles Posted 12/23/2010 by Diane Miles - GRANDPARENT
The older children were as fascinated as the four year old that I purchased it for.
Want it for my classroom but purchased as a gift Posted 8/19/2011 by Early Childhood Educator - EDUCATOR
Satisfies both the need to build and the desire to engage in pretend play. The creatures are both the buildings and the characters! Goes together in unique ways it is an addictive manipulative even for adults
Product review of Reptangles Posted 6/7/2012 by rebecca brownlee - GRANDPARENT
nice product, fun to play with
Reptangles Posted 4/30/2012 by Jackie Benefield - EDUCATOR
These turtles are addictive. I bought these because they looked like fun and I have thoroughly enjoyed trying to figure out all of the different ways to put them together. My 33 year-old daughter, who is quite artistic, loves the fantastic shapes that can be made and will create with them for an hour at the time. Great stress reducer! When I let a class of 5 -6 year olds at church play with them before class began, they were very reluctant to put them away so class could begin. When they had free time after the lesson their only interest was to play with the Reptangles again. When I have taught the class since that time, they have requested repeatedly that I bring the building turtles back.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 4/24/2012 by Phyllis Trosper - RELATIVE
Really enjoys the creativity the reptangles provides.
Reptangles snap together and stay together Posted 1/2/2012 by Stacy - GRANDPARENT
The quality of this toy is very high. It's very challenging, there are many different things you can make from a guide, or make up your own. To start with get one set, after your little ones get good at building with them, buy another set, to make bigger things.
Gift for a 6 yo Posted 1/2/2012 by Meredith Landorf
On Christmas morning he wasn't very interested, but that afternoon, he had it out and was exploring with it. Now a week later, he (and his sister 8yo and his dad) are playing with them all of the time. He asked me today to see how much they cost to see if he can use his chore money to get another set to build bigger creations. This is an amazing set, but I think that it would be tough for a child younger than 5-6 yo since they are a little hard to get the hang of snalling them all of the different ways. They are so much fun and limitless in what he can make.
Review for Reptangles Posted 1/1/2012 by Mrs. D. Carlson - RELATIVE
I was a little worried in reading reviews about them being difficult to put together but decided to chance it since my nephew is such an avid builder. I'm so glad I did. He needed help at first but figured it out. He really enjoyed the many possibilities.
Reptangles Posted 12/31/2011 by Parents of 5
We bought Reptangles for our son who is about to turn 5. This age is probably the youngest you would want to buy them for because the turtles are a little bit difficult to snap together. He, his 6 year old brother, 8 year old brother, AND even mom and dad have had a good time playing with them, finding new ways to put them together and arranging the colors in different paterns. They have also been played with in other ways, like make believe soldiers. The box they come packaged in is sturdy and so the turles are stored in it. This toy isn't one that is played with non-stop, but well liked. We put it up in our toy closet and pull down every two or three days. We also have taken them places where he needs to sit quietly for a bit, such as Daddy's office. Our two year old has shown no interest in them.
Building Fun Posted 12/28/2011 by Jennifer Obreiter
Great for building, multidimensional creations, and for playing with little turtles. It has the added kid-fun factor of making turtles bite each other's bottoms.
great for boys and girls Posted 12/28/2011 by Joanna Opaskar
I purchased these for my 5 year old nephew, but my 6 year old niece loves to play with them too. They are attractive, functional, and a very clever step up from the usual building blocks or legos.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/26/2011 by Sarah Samaros - OTHER
I found the reptangles to be an amazing toy. Very complex combinations to try and very fun to play wiht. I would absolutely recommend this product to others.
turtle shaped linking blocks a hit at our house Posted 12/25/2011 by Sally Martin
They didn't want to eat Christmas morning because they couldn't put these cute blocks down. They link together in so many ways, it will be a while before they are bored with these.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/22/2011 by shannon shaw
i bought this product for my 3 year old daughter because she is always into stacking and building things. She opened this and went straight to work snapping them together. my 6 year old son even started getting into it and they both have hours of creative building fun..

Love them.... I got these for my nephews. They absolutely love them. Great toy, better than lego's.

Bought for our child care center and 1/2 the class wants it for their christmas list!
Product review of Reptangles Posted 9/23/2011 by Natalie Campbell - EDUCATOR
I bought this toy for my preschool classroom and the students love it. They enjoy making patterns, bracelets, buildings, etc.. The only negative in a classroom setting is that I wish there were more of them to build with. Great toy for two, possibly three children. I think I may buy another boy to help solve this problem.
reptangles Posted 9/10/2011 - RELATIVE
I got reptangles for my 5 year old nephew. He has had a great time building with them. His 7 year old and 9 year old sisters have had great fun as well!! What a creative way to learn!!
Reptangles Posted 7/25/2011 by Marilyn Kidder
While it took a little while for my 5 yr old grandaughter to figure out the connections, now she's faster than most adults. It will be interesting to see how long she continues to like it.

This is a really great toy! Its cute and very interesting for playing. My daughter likes to put the blocks together.

kids can make different geometric shapes
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/29/2010 by cindy
This product was a little hard for me to snap and connect and harder for a child. Cool idea, but seemed like it took strength and patience to create objects.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/26/2010
Requires imagination
Great for a Sunday School class!! Posted 9/20/2012 by Jan Miller - EDUCATOR
Several boys worked together to build some really cool structures! Toy lended itself to cooperative play.

Awesome Toy Posted 1/6/2013 by Melissa Smolka
This toy is amazing. Provides entertainment for the entire family ages 1-30!!! We have so much fun playing with retangles and its educational too!! The retangles are sturdy and well built not even our toddler can destroy them!
Great fun - quiet game Posted 10/23/2012 by nisswachick - GRANDPARENT
I like to get these out for the boys when it's time to settle down a little and we want to turn the "noise" level down in the house. Easy to handle for our two-year old grandson and they know they have to play together with each other which is great in promoting sharing. May buy a second set just to give them more pieces when playing together.

Can't wait to play with them - but our special suitcase won't be opened until October 6 at the very earliest!

Very satisfied with this product. Child used it in many different ways...building, pretend play, counting.....
Super cool creativity booster! Posted 12/3/2012 by Amy Hansen - FRIEND
I bought this toy as a holiday gift for my nephew. He hasn't yet received it but I know that his creative side will certainly be worked hard! In addition, I know his parents will appreciate the cognitive nature of building from a blank slate and the endless possibilities that will keep him busy. The pieces are also large enough that his 1 year old sister can play without damaging the toy or being harmed herself.
Reptangles Rock Posted 2 days ago by CARA A PALMESANO
I originally asked for a relative to get these for my son when he was three. Well, he was too young for them. But now at age five, he loves creating interesting 3-D sculptures. They are colorful, unique building pieces that don't kill your foot if you happen upon them in the middle of the night. So we bought them for our nephew recently too.
Can't be bored with these! Posted 4/9/2013 by Lisa Schlomach - GRANDPARENT
There are so many ways to play with this toy. Purchased these because my grandson is so quickly bored with toys. Not these, he can't stop playing!
My rating of Reptangles Posted 1/1/2013
This was a gift for a 9-year-old girl. She was intrigued and immediately began problem-solving. It was challenging. Two adults were attracted to it and joined in.
Product review of Reptangles Posted 12/31/2012 by Tracy Patterson
I purchased this for my niece as she loves blocks and building things; she is still a little to young (should have followed the age recommendation -- though I can't put it down -- fun for adults!)
Reptangles Posted 12/30/2012 by Kendra DiMichele
Lots of fun, can make interesting shapes, and she loves that they are turtles!
Information about Reptangles Posted 12/30/2012 by Margaret A Zebroski - GRANDPARENT
We all played with this, a cunning and beautiful set of objects. Even the box they come in is a sturdy permanent storage object. This 'toy' will never wear out; either in the physical sense or in the levels of geometric principles one can apply to it. Wow.
Review for Reptangles Posted 12/29/2012
Excellent for promoting fine motor skill co-ordination and mental acuity viz. problem solving.
Review of Reptangles Posted 12/28/2012 by Dianne Calkins
Even the dad thought this toy was a hit! They had a great time building animals!!
Fun for all ages Posted 12/28/2012 by Amber
We love this product. The whole family is learning about polygons and octahedrons. Geometry was never this much fun.

Posted 10/3/2011 by Kim Bryan - GRANDPARENT
This was ordered for our granddaughter for a Christmas present. Therefore, we have not had a chance for her to play with the toy to see what she thinks of it. But, she is very creative and her parents requested we order this item for her, so we are quite sure she will enjoy it.
