The ultimate creativity toy! Original Colorforms will provide you with limitless possibilities. Designers, teachers, and toy collectors alike agree- this is the best creativity play set they've found. An exact replica of the Colorforms Set that launched the company in 1951-it was recently selected for the Toy Hall of Fame. 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.
A 2002 Parents' Choice Classic Award Winner.
Country of Origin: U.S.A. & China.

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.

Really like this classic set and I think it really opens the door to creativity - my only complaint would be an easier way to store the pieces - but I would not let that deter anyone from enjoying this classic!

Review of The Original Colorforms Set
Posted 5/15/2008 by CAROLYN C FAUST

The Colorforms Original Set is quite impressive. The book it comes in is very portable and well organized. My only complaint is that the two boards used for sticking the colorforms to were covered with a film of sorts that the pieces wouldn't stick to. The black board had to be sponged down and wiped clean before the colorforms would stick. The white one was not as bad, but it worked much better after it had been sponged down.
