Travel Tangoes - Animals

My daughter is in first grade and her teacher taught them to do tangrams... so Santa brought her and her sister each one of these books. They are awesome! The magnetic board is super strong and the book is great quality. We especially like the way it shows you a puzzle and then give you the solution on the back... they usually need some help. These are a really nice size to take into a restaurant or Dr's office.

My six year old daughter is a very logical child and likes to play with challenging toys that require a lot of thinking and concentration. This fits the bill perfectly. The best part is that it is easy to transport. We take it on trips with us both for a distraction in the car and also for something to do when we are bored in hotels. The puzzles aren't too challenging, but they keep her busy for a long time. She never gets tired of this.

I purchased this little travel game for my 5-year-old son to use on an airplane. I like that he had to be a little creative when trying to build the animals from the shapes. He wasn't able to complete any without looking at the "cheat sheet" on the back of each card, but it didn't seem to make the game any less fun for him. The pieces are magnetic and the cards are all attached, so the whole thing folds up nicely into the little book and snaps shut, making it really easy to travel with. I'm giving it 4 stars because it wasn't my son's favorite activity and didn't come out of his backpack nearly as often as his Kindle. It didn't hold his interest for too long, but I think it was a nice change from the electronics and well worth the money spent.

Small size and string magnetic pieces

My 5 year old enjoyed these on our last road trip. I was concerned he would have a hard time figuring them out on his own, but he did just fine. The magnets are strong enough that they won't fall off, but not so strong that kids can't remove them easily. This is a good way for my son to stay entertained without a screen in his face, while in the car.

Efficient, fun, packable

Was missing a piece.

I bought two of these as gifts - for a 5 year old and an 8 year old - both the children (different families) and their parents are very happy with the Tangoes. Fun and a challenge to use and I give them another plus since they are magnetic and stay in place. Highly recommended for children, adults and seniors. Also a good travel companion.
