Originally purchased for my elementary art classroom to aid students in the understanding of organic shapes and the concepts and techniques used in Alexander Calder's stabiles and mobiles. But once it got into the hands of fellow teachers, my own children, and myself- we were all intrigued by its simple design that enabled everyone who used it to create unique and varied sculptures.
This sturdy design set with its amply sized pieces will be an integral part of my art classroom for years to come.

Great product. I gave it to my wife for Christmas and we are both having a lot of fun building sculptures. (we're in our 60's) I would highly recommend it. We would like to be able to buy expansion packs with extra shapes and colors. Also, maybe no black pieces. They seem to be a negative in an otherwise bright and positive toy.

My daughters ages 5 and 7 received ShapeScapeS for Christmas. They were so excited and inspired by it. They tried to recreate art that they saw at the Guggenheim museum. This product is easy to use and very inspirational for people of all ages. This was definitely a hit!
