“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!

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 6 years of age.

Product review of Reptangles
Posted 3 days ago
Rating: 
I bought this for a 3 year old and feel the parts are difficult for him to manulupate. We did sort by color and it has other useful skills to learn, but I doubt if he could use without supervision.
Too difficult for son's age

I really like the idea of Reptangles and enjoy playing with them myself. The Reptangles were a Christmas gift for my almost 3 year son. He can't get the turtles to stick together and got frustrated pretty quick. I'm hoping he will grow into this toy.
My rating of Reptangles
Posted 25 days ago by Sharon Gordon
Rating:
Reptangles is a really neat toy concept, but my four year old had a hard time time snapping the pieces together, and then some link points come apart too easily. Most of the patterns in the manual are too difficult to construct, and since it doesn't actually result in something you can play with, it did hold my child's interest. I hope it is something we can grow into, or we need to lower our expectations.

Reptangles are best fit for children ages 6 and up. You may opt to keep Reptangles until your child grows into them. Should you decide to return them - full satisfaction is a snap! Please visit the Returns & Exchanges center for details.

Reptangles snap together and stay together

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

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.
