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 in 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.

My 8 year old has been asking for "bigger kid" toys. Tried Fractiles-7 because he likes art and design. The toy keeps his interest and he likes to come up with his own patterns. It's a good way to have parent-kid time as well, because there's room for two patterns on the magnetic board.

Huge Hit
Posted 12/26/2012 by Jo Soderberg

It was the first thing my six year old granddaughter played with. She is engrossed in it, and has her grandfather right with her. She is very intent and I think the precision required is wonderful for her age. She likes puzzles above most toys so it is very intriguing for her. I will say that she has a great deal of patience...for kids who like quick and furious action this might not be as much fun. The design is good, very solid. The suggested designs are great...many of them, many intricate and enticing to recreate.

Review for Fractiles-7
Posted 12/26/2012 by Linda Buckley

Three geometric shapes... and the patterns are limitless! My 18 year old daughter and I have been sharing play time with Fractiles. We love it. We have copied the samples on the back of the box and we've made up our own. We like the combining of art, geometry, pattern-creation, etc... Too many toys these days have a limited range of play... only one way to use it, or only one outcome, and require no imagination or thought. I have always avoided time-wasters like that when buying gifts for my six children, and now grand-children. Fractiles is one of the good ones!
