Orb Factory My First Picture Maker

I saw this in the elementary school where I work with 1st-6th graders and found that kids of all ages really like using it. Great for learning and following directions as well as being creative on your own. Also good for building fine motor skills. I bought it for my 4 and 6 year old nephews. The only thing that I would change is for there to be extra of each color in case some go missing or for when creating your own pictures.

My daughter got this for her 4th birthday and it is awesome!! We have done The Orb Factory sticky mosaics and my kids also love them. I like this because they can be done over and over! The blocks are very sparkly and pretty and she loves that! It is educational because kids have to match colors, numbers, shapes, alphabet, etc. My 6 year old son also loves this. They argue over who gets to do it. I can't say enough about this toy. If you are even considering it go for it. You will not regret it. If your kids likes arts/crafts then this is the ideal toy for them. I will be buying for bday gifts in the future!!

Finally a clean way for the kids to make art! My preschoolers love this. It's fun to use and easy for small hands. There are other versions of this that are a little more complicated and have smaller pieces for kids that are a little older. I bought a small organizer from Michael's to store all the little colored squares - seems easier than sifting through a bag of mixed up blocks. Plus, it's fun for the kids to sort the colors again when we're done.

I got this for my 4 year old daughter and she LOVES it. Breaking apart all the little magnetic pieces wore on my fingers, but it was an easy task. The pieces are just the right size for little fingers... big enough for her to pick up easily, but small enough to create a picture with. Offers different ways of matching up the colors, whether it be through color matching or number matching. This one has the glitter/sparkling pieces, which added to her excitement. Several nice size pictures with a board that is very sturdy. This is a great hobby craft/project that can be used over and over.

We ordered a few Orb Factory projects for our 6 year old son and knew that our almost-3-year old daughter would be wanting to participate in the activity as well. So we purchased this magnetic Orb Factory project. The idea of this is perfect. It is magnetic so no "mistakes" to be made as with the other sticker-type mosaic projects. The color matching with numbers or shapes is great and so educational. Her little fingers can manipulate the squares just fine. She LOVES the sparkles on them.There are a few reasons this product is getting only 4 stars instead of 5 from us - despite the fact that we love the product. First, the magnetic board is not very strong and the magnets do not stick the best. It is adequate but can get frustrating for little hands that bump the square next to the one they're placing. Second, the stand and board are flimsy and knock over fairly easily. We end up using the board laying down while doing the project and setting it up on the stand for display most of the time. Third, the templates have nothing to keep them on the board. A clip or a tighter fit on the board would have been very helpful so the paper wouldn't slide around.All things, however, that have not kept us from thoroughly enjoying the product for this age group nor keep from impressing us with its educational value!

I bought this for my 4 1/2 yr old niece, and she Loved it! I did too - it comes with a table top easel stand and a variety of stencils to use. What I liked most was the foam magnetic squares they are all sparkly. It very easy to use and to follow the instructions. It a paint by number without the paint. I totally recommend this as a gift or for your own children.

My grandson got this toy for Christmas. As a dinosaur lover, it was expected to take the back seat to all his dinosaur toys but it did not. He loves it, and as a three year old, it's by far easy enough for him to do alone. He plays with it regularly and made it clear it's one of his favorite toys!

Great Item! I bought this for 4 year old triplets and they all love doing it. There are plenty of templates so the kids don't get bored.My only suggestion would be that if you want it "ready to play" you should open it up and break apart the squares before you give it. You have to break apart all the diffent squares and it takes a good amount of time.

De verdad vale la pena los niños se entretienen horas chicos y grandes, vienen muchas plantillas para hacer diferentes figuras nos ha servido mucho en esta cuarentena!

I do believe that this item is by mistake wrongly prized. have to check if I have payed wrongly last time.

Eigentlich war ich ja auf der Such nach einer Tafel mit Magneten...Aber da gibt es ja nur Buchstaben und Zahlen zum anheften...Dann stieß ich auf dieses Magnet-Mosaik! Es ist einfach genial... Da das Kind kreartiv sein kann und es sind auch viele Vorlagen dabei, wo wunderschöne Bilder heraus entstehen!Selbst mein 3-jähriger Sohn ist begeistert, der super auch mit den Vorlagen zurecht kommt, da sie auch mit der entsprechenden Farbe gekennzeichnet sind, nicht nur Zahlen und Formen.Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen!!!

Meine tochter hat es zum 4. Geburtstag bekommen. Wir spielen damit regelmäßig und wir sind einfach nur begeistert! Wirklich toll
