We gave this toy to my daughter for her fifth birthday, and both she and my 33 year old husband have been enthralled by it! The grown-ups have even gotten it out after the kids were in bed, and my 2 year old gets a kick out of it as well. I think this is something that my 5 year old will grow to appreciate more as she matures, but there's really something about making patterns that appeals to all ages.

The work on this piece is phenomenal as well. Every piece is well made and well designed. One small problem we've encountered is that sometimes the pattern doesn't fit exactly in the frame - too loose to really be propped up with the stand. But for using and putting the pieces back for the next go round instead of on display, it's a fabulous toy.

This toy is better than I expected. It comes with a set of beautifully colored tiles in addition to the ones you see in the picture. With these quadrilateral tiles, children can create many different patterns. Kids who are engaged by this kind of play will spend hours with it! Adults who appreciate design will love it, too. Great, thoughtful toy.

Trapecolo is a very clever way to introduce patterning, sequencing, and part-to-whole concepts while creating some beautiful pieces of artwork. Although a bit challenging for younger children, it is versatile enough to create enjoyment for the whole family.

My two year old and three year old love this item. It is very versitle and helps the imagination!
