Great Creativity. A wonderful creative plaything for children, especially in this day of overkill. Can provide hours of fun on rainy days and families can work together. Had this as a child myself and remembered it all these years.

Great Fun to Play with a Child!. If you are creative and have a child whom you love, this is an ideal toy! The shapes allow one to create numerous pictures, the colors are bright, and the book in which the pieces are housed makes an ideal carrying case.

I purchased this for my daughter's niece who is four years old and very active. She rarely sits still and, like many children today, is more enthralled by video games and movies than creative playthings. However, when I sat down to play Colorforms with her, we created things for over an hour without her losing interest. I do not think she will play with this toy alone as she is not spatially oriented or someone who thinks creatively.

This toy is best for someone who is more design oriented or for parents/grandparents to engage with a child in a play activity.

The pieces are originally in sheet form and attached to individual pages in the storage book. One must peel them carefully to avoid losing pieces which have not been fully cut in the manufacturing process. The scrap has many large sections that can be used to cut additional shapes - hearts, leaves, etc. to provide additional flexibility of design. We had no difficulty with the pieces sticking to the two boards provided for designing, and were also able to stick them on windows and the refrigerator.

One warning, I was the only adult in a group of six (one 60, three 50-somethings, and two parents in their 20's) who had ever heard of or played with Colorforms. If you have any doubts, you might want to be sure someone knows what to do with this wonderfully creative toy.

colorforms. Well, I don't know if it is the dry climate we have in Colorado or what, but these do not stick as described. Great Idea, just wish they worked better.

Excited to share with my God children but they don't stick. Still 5 STARS *****. I had this set as a child and loved it. I didn't even know they still made them. By chance I saw them here and thought what a great idea to have here for my 2 God children to play with when they come over.

I was so excited when it arrived. Since it's a play at my house game I went ahead and opened it. Sadly the black board had had something spilled on it and white flicks of paint on it.

The colorforms didn't stick to it or the white board very well at all. If you use one of them then replace it in the book it will not stick.

I see others have had the same problem. I don't know if it is a bad lot or what but I also like another reviewer called the company and they are sending a new set to me. I so wanted to surprise them over the holidays.

I'm going ahead with the high rating because I now this is a wonderful creative toy. It's not electronic or super hero stuff and that is what I love about it. It lets children and adults use your imagination.

Not everyone has had this experience so maybe there was just a lot that got exposed to too much cold or heat or some odd thing. I am hopeful the replacement will be good. I must commend the company and I told them where I got it and they just said sure we will send you another one right away. Now that is a company that stands behind the product.

I meant this to be 5 stars but it won't let me change it.
I still recommend it I think this is a fluke only a few of us are having this trouble.

UPDATE: The replacement came quickly and has no problems. Sticks well. Very Happy product just like I remembered. 5 stars.

Colorforms Still A Winner. I am always a bit desperate to find new toys that inspire imagination and creativity for my 5 year old. The Original Colorforms does the trick. My son makes his mini masterpieces with great pride, enjoying the process of creating something that doesn't have an established end result. I do feel the set to be pricey, however, but worth it in the end. Kids can easily enjoy this from ages 5-10.
