We bought this for our 5-year-old son and he has enjoyed putting together the different animal puzzles. It kept him occupied for about 30 minutes at a time during a car trip. He sometimes needs help with the puzzles but has been able to follow the diagrams and put together many of the puzzles by himself. The puzzle book is a handy size and has over 20 different puzzles to make - the magnets and book fold together keeping everything neatly stored and ready to use again and again. We will likely buy some of the other tangoes puzzles for future trips.

The tangos that we already owned have large cards that you fit the tiles onto. The travel version has two little books of cards bound into it (so you won't lose them) and on the front is a picture of the shape you are trying to make. on the back when you flip the little page is the picture broken up into the shapes, but there isn't one that is the same size as the tiles. Just so you know - that is more difficult. My four year old is really good at this stuff and he's just figuring it out a little bit. I told him to use the back pictures for now and that's ok but he needs more help than with the big version. We still love it and when he's older may get the other sets. but for now, it is just good to know that it is more difficult - for a little bit older kids than mine. Other info: good size, good feel. seems durable. Easy to pack up by the kid. Very slim little book that fits into diaper bag pockets, travel bags, purse...

Apparently they do not show the right picture with this but this review is for the item listed above. This is a cute little kit that is fun and easy to travel with. I use it while on road trips. It has semi-soft foam pieces that are magnetic and have two sets of cards that are fasened to the book. It is very conveient. The only downside is that it only has about 24 or so puzles and I have done them all. I came up with the idea of using the cards for the Classic tangoes game I have and punching holes in them then attaching a binder ring so that I could attach it to this kits binder. That way I will have more challenging puzzles. Lots of fun. I have the objects puzzles too, haven't had a chance to work with these though.

My two year old also enjoys playing with it with me. She does not know how to do any of the puzzles persea but she enjoys putting the pieces to fit next to one another.
