Here's a thinking game. (Actually five games in one.) Fun to play & fabulous in presentation, wherever you place Colora, it will draw attention and challenge mental prowess. Adults & children alike can't help but be pulled in!
Colora is a game that develops logical thinking & visual/spatial abilities. Players manipulate vibrant magnetic shapes to understand sequencing, create patterns & design mosaic-like pictures. Truly an open-ended challenge.
Brilliantly colored, with incredible strength . . . Magnetic bamboo squares & triangles on a magnetic platform. Each shape has an upper surface with wave-like variances in its height. (Smooth natural curves inspire a higher level of thinking & creative play when you try to match height of adjoining pieces.)
Colora contains 8 square & 16 triangular-shaped magnetic bamboo tiles in an assortment of brilliant colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Light Green, Dark Green, Light Blue, Dark Blue & Magenta. The magnetic board is black with light natural wood fitted at each corner.
5 Colora games (3 levels of difficulty and great fun) for 1 or 2 players. Included in the instruction booklet you'll find: 2 Beginner Challenges, 2 Mid-Difficult Challenges, & 1 More Difficult Challenge.
As an added benefit, consider the International flavor of The Bamboo Collection. Created in cooperation with UNESCO; The United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization gathered designers, teachers & technicians of more than 15 nations to participate in the development of these smart toys made from natural bamboo. Bamboo-indigenous to many countries-is an extremely fast growing giant grass that is easily renewable when harvested. This new use of bamboo will provide stimulus for economic growth & support for many people across the globe.

Wonderful for when you need children to sit quietly and still have the chance to be creative. Interesting shapes and color possibilities. Well made. Hours of fun and learning.
Very cool activity for my daughter and my husband!

Sturdy construction, well made with strong attention to detail. The pieces are so easily interchangable that there are unlimited possibilities for artistic creation. My two year old daughter will play with this for nearly an hour at a time. Builds independent creative thinking while encouraging color, shape, and texture familiarity and some fine motor skills. We love this toy!!

Really beautiful product. My daughter is only 18 months old, but she enjoys placing the magnets on the surface. She is already learning colors and we are able to point to the colors as she is learning them. I look forward to actually playing the matching games when she gets older.

I have been eyeing this product for quite some time. I am always looking for clever concepts that weave together art and magnets, sound wierd? Well, not for me! I love magnets. This particular product turned out to be a bit more than I expected. The size is perfect. I like the way the magnetic back board is framed. I intend to eventually hang this on the wall so that it becomes and ever changing piece of artwork. An interactive piece for my students at school or my associates. Materials, color, and unique shape give this a different feel than say Fractiles or tangrams (which I also have and enjoy.) Thumbs up on this one!
