FRACTILES-7 award winning magnetic tiling toy allows you to create an infinite variety of beautiful designs.
Use it to create starbursts, spirals, butterflies, bouquets of flowers, swarms of fireflies, spaceships, illusions of 3D space, and lots more. Easy and creative. A magnetic toy for all ages!
The large version features 192 brilliantly colored flexible magnetic tiles, sturdy 12 inch x 12 inch black textured steel activity board, color illustrated instructional material, and double record album style package to store board and tiles. Great for the ambitious budding designer or for classroom use...more than a simple set of refrigerator magnets.
All Fractiles-7 sets are:
Award-Winning: Fractiles-7 received a Parents' Choice Award for play and educational value, quality and design.
Versatile: Use these wonderful little diamond-shaped tiles to easily create seven-fold snowflakes, starbursts, spirals, and much more. The versatile, elegant geometry allows anyone to create endless varieties of imaginative and beautiful designs, ranging from very simple to infinitely complex. Individuals can spend tireless hours discovering new levels of play and design.
Wide Appeal: Fractiles fans range from young children to seniors, from those with no math background to advanced math researchers.
More than Refrigerator Magnet Fun: The magnetic tiles stay put - yet slide easily on their specially textured board - a helpful feature guaranteed to improve fine motor skills.
Builds Pattern Recognition Skills: Pattern recognition skills are key to learning. Lack of pattern recognition skills is linked to learning disabilities. Fractiles-7 is so much fun you may not even notice how regular play increases your pattern recognition skills. This magnetic learning toy will capture your attention and expand your learning potential.

Fractiles-7 are everything they say they are. It is so convenient that they are magnetic, stay in place, don't get lost easily, etc. You can make beautiful designs with them and be very creative. Right now we are using them at work for a "teamwork" challenge.

I bought this for myself - my new office has magnet-friendly walls. I have always been interested by geometric patterns and the Fractiles-7 set really captured my attention. When I first opened the set I ended up playing quietly with it for at least two hours.
At work the set has been a hit with co-workers rearranging the tiles into interesting patterns often. It's like poetry magnets for graphic designers! "Poetry is just copy. Shapes, colors, patterns - that's where it's at!"
Overall, Fractiles-7 functions well as precision cut brain food for creative types. I'd imagine your kid will dig it too!

My son is 6 and my daughter is 7 and they haven't stopped playing with Fractiles. We've had it a week now & they both love to make patterns and trying to copy the ones on the box. I might buy another so they can both make new designs. Love this product!

I purchased Fractiles 7 for my 7 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loved it. She can sit for hours and create designs galore. The whole family is impressed with the creativity options with this product. American made was a real plus for me. Thanks to Fat Brain I was able to find all American made toys and games for my grandchildren for Christmas. I will ceartainly be returning to you for all of my future American made gifts. You made it very easy to pull up only made in USA products and I really appreciate that.
Thanks Again
