“My nephew is a Lego maniac, but when he opened my present, he was not interested in the Legos! He fully focused his attention on the Reptangles and didn't even play with the new Legos until the next day.”

These building turtles are a SNAP! 2 Reptangles can connect in 100+ combinations!

A highly evolved construction toy, Reptangles are a perfect fit for building intelligent imaginations! Because of their reptilian resemblance, children are immediately drawn to this building toy system. The snapping begins and soon leads to new levels of imagination, creativity and educational play!

Reptangles is a toy of innovative design. The geometry of the polyhedra shape is an essential component to the appeal and countless ways Reptangles can be combined. Children quickly advance their skills, first building simple polyhedra and then advancing to complex polyhedra. Truncated octahedrons never looked so good! Once they start creating, children forget these are turtles with purpose!

Dive into symmetry, reflections and rotations with the accompanying, full-color Exploration Guide. You'll find incredibly interesting geometry. The guide also features step-by-step diagrams to create complex and beautiful structures; it sparks the curiosity of even the most seasoned building toy veteran! Have you ever built a rhombicuboctahedron?

Well-built, with a focus on modern design, Reptangles is an inter-locking toy system that is superior to all predecessors. These colorful creatures engage for hours!

Information about Reptangles
Posted yesterday by Carol Anne Kryder

This is a great toy for the child who likes to build with blocks or legos. More limited in some respects (hard to build a building out of reptiles) but with geometric possibilities that are harder to achieve with other forms. The brightly colored reptiles make whatever she builds visually pleasing.

perhaps a bit too young at 5
Posted 2 days ago by Judith Parker

My grandson, the recipient, sees his dad (my son) every other weekend. And because they live far away I was only able to see him open the present (online viewing) and then he and dad tried to put something together. My grandson's 5th birthday, he had some trouble making the connections first try. I bet he's much better at it now but I haven't asked or had a chance to see him again. I imagine my son might be putting together some nice polyhedrons on his own though!

Reptangles Rock
Posted 3 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

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!

Not as engaging as I had hoped
Posted 3/24/2013

We bought an assortment of gifts from this website for my son's 6th birthday. I was pretty excited to give this to my son based on some of the reviews that I've read. Well, he's played with it a few times but finds it hard to connect the pieces together. I'm hoping that we can try it again in a few months and he'll have more of an interest in it.
