Great set!

Great set of a classic toy! I had these when I was a kid, and with an upcoming vacation, I was searching for them for my own kids. There's a lot you get with this set. The only thing is that the boards are a little bigger than I realized. So, for my planning of using on the plane, it's not the best thing. But I'm sure in the hotel room or just at home, it'll be great!!

Fun Blast From the Past!

Setting: Home
My 3 and 5 year old boys are really enjoying their Colorforms. My 3 year old especially has wanted to play with the set ALL THE TIME! He enjoys using our glass door to make his creations on. I love seeing his imagination at work and I think that the peeling and sticking has to be really beneficial for his fine motor skills. The only draw back is they are tedious to pick up off the floor!

A rating of The Original Colorforms Set
Posted 5/15/2008 by CAROLYN C FAUST
Rating:
The Colorforms Original Set is quite impressive. The book it comes in is very portable and well organized. My only complaint is that the two boards used for sticking the colorforms to were covered with a film of sorts that the pieces wouldn't stick to. The black board had to be sponged down and wiped clean before the colorforms would stick. The white one was not as bad, but it worked much better after it had been sponged down.

We gave this to my daughter (5 yrs old) for Christmas. She and my son (7 yrs old) are enjoying making different pictures with the colorforms. There's both a black and a white background board included so they can both play at the same time.

Just As I Remembered Them!

These are just as much fun as I remember from my own childhood, and were a perfect choice for my niece. The shapes also stick to her stand-up easel, which allows for larger creations. Great purchase!

My 3 and 5 year old daughters love their Colorforms set! It allows them to be creative with the shapes to make pictures. I love it because it's just like the set I had as a child!

Product review of The Original Colorforms Set
Posted 12/29/2011 by mom of 6 year old
Rating:
wasn't sure if my kids would know what to do with it but it must be the simplicity of it all that attracts them. the colors are attractive and the shapes are in a variety that lends itself to interest forms. i took a bet ordering this because i have some fond memories from my youth - wasn't sure if this generation had the patience - but they have embraced it.

I had this same colorforms set when I was a kid. I loved it then, and my 4.5 year old daughter loves it now!

This is exactly what we had hoped for. As a child, I had memories of playing with these and entertaining myself for hours by sticking them onto my grandmother's sliding glass door. After the Christmas frenzy was over and my 6 year old was starting to pestering her older sister, I pulled out the Colorforms box. She, too, stuck them onto our sliding glass door and amused herself for a couple of hours. Then she happily showed us all her creations. Quality product, just like I remember having!

I was delighted to find Colorforms in your catalog. It brought back many happy memories for me and I decided to give it to my three year old grandson for Christmas. Thank you for shipping it the same day you received my order. This was my first order from Fat Brain Toys and it will not be my last.
Great company, great products!

As I said in my last Fat Brain review, I LOVE dealing with this company. It is on a par with Amazon.com, in my opinion, with great communication and wonderful products. Keep up the good work, Fat Brain.
Classic Colorforms still the best
Posted 10/20/2009 by Phyllis F. Perkins

This is a great "toy". The geometric shapes are a delight to my grandchildren as they were to my children. Although the set comes with 2 boards to which the colorforms stick, they love to make pictures and abstract designs on a large window -- much more scope! The age range is a wide one -- from 2 years up with increasing sophistication in the designs, but still a delight to all of them. One grandchild came home from school talking about how they were learning about patterns and immediately began constructing patterns with the shapes, another loves to make scenes which tell stories. I think this classic set is so much better than the more recent sets with actual pictures. The vinyl shapes are almost indestructable and if they get dirty, a swipe with a damp cloth fixes that.
If I had one suggestion it would be that Colorforms could broaden out the range of colors. Think of a set of many hundreds of Colorform shapes in all the colors of the box of 64 Crayola Crayons! I'd have to brush my grandchildren aside to get at it.

A wonderful toy from my childhood that I have now past on to my grandchildren. I purchased two Colorforms Sets. I enjoyed them as a child and I'm sure that my grandchildren will enjoy them too.

Really like this classic set and I think it really opens the door to creativity - my only complaint would be an easier way to store the pieces - but I would not let that deter anyone from enjoying this classic!

I was disappointed with the book included with the Original Colorforms Set. The book broke apart while I was unpacking it. I had bought it for my classroom.

No doubt about it, the book is essential to easy storage of Colorforms pieces. Mrs. Steinheiser was sent a replacement book.

This is a classic set of Colorforms, five colors and three different variations of shapes. It's a great toy for promoting creativity. The only reason I give it four of five stars is clean up is a hassle. Storage is back on the templates; it is tedious to put all the tiny little triangles and squares back, and if you don't they are easily lost. I recommend this toy for an older child.

This product has been around for a long time and I think it has been pretty well time tested. It is wonderful at helping a bright young creative mind exercise and expand.
