Includes 350 brightly colored shapes in an elegant, spiral-bound book and case. The Colorforms easily attach to any glossy surface, or to one another, by applying slight pressure across the surface of each piece.

This is exactly what we had hoped for. As a child, I had memories of playing with these and entertaining myself for hours by sticking them onto my grandmother's sliding glass door. After the Christmas frenzy was over and my 6 year old was starting to pestering her older sister, I pulled out the Colorforms box. She, too, stuck them onto our sliding glass door and amused herself for a couple of hours. Then she happily showed us all her creations. Quality product, just like I remember having!

I was delighted to find Colorforms in your catalog. It brought back many happy memories for me and I decided to give it to my three year old grandson for Christmas. Thank you for shipping it the same day you received my order. This was my first order from Fat Brain Toys and it will not be my last.
Great company, great products!

As I said in my last Fat Brain review, I LOVE dealing with this company. It is on a par with Amazon.com, in my opinion, with great communication and wonderful products. Keep up the good work, Fat Brain.
Classic Colorforms still the best

This is a great "toy". The geometric shapes are a delight to my grandchildren as they were to my children. Although the set comes with 2 boards to which the colorforms stick, they love to make pictures and abstract designs on a large window -- much more scope! The age range is a wide one -- from 2 years up with increasing sophistication in the designs, but still a delight to all of them. One grandchild came home from school talking about how they were learning about patterns and immediately began constructing patterns with the shapes, another loves to make scenes which tell stories. I think this classic set is so much better than the more recent sets with actual pictures. The vinyl shapes are almost indestructable and if they get dirty, a swipe with a damp cloth fixes that.
If I had one suggestion it would be that Colorforms could broaden out the range of colors. Think of a set of many hundreds of Colorform shapes in all the colors of the box of 64 Crayola Crayons! I'd have to brush my grandchildren aside to get at it.

A wonderful toy from my childhood that I have now past on to my grandchildren. I purchased two Colorforms Sets. I enjoyed them as a child and I'm sure that my grandchildren will enjoy them too.
