Tangrams aren't just fun to play at home, they make the perfect travel toy! These ancient Chinese puzzles keep little minds and fingers busy, as kids use the seven magnetic puzzle pieces to recreate colorful designs. Great for creativity and problem-solving. Basic set includes portable laptop case, seven shapes, and 12 two-sided design cards; all pieces store inside. Keep the fun going with additional Puzzle Packs(sold separately). For ages 4 and up.

Comments about Rex Games Tangoes Jr.:
greatly enjoyed for engaging play in the car. Both girls want to play with this. Very well made product, especially including well organised and accessible storage tray. So far better appreciated than similar games with more pieces or free-form play options. Am buying as a gift for friends.
Awesome Game!

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
We first used this product at the Memorial Day picnic. I'm glad to say we didn't lose any pieces. My 2-year old daughter enjoys it because the pieces are a good size and are magnetic. I love it because the pieces store away conveniently in the side drawer. She can't do the puzzle by herself yet, but is good at following my directions where to put the pieces. The second side is an additional plus for older kids or those who have mastered side 1. It shows the whole figure of the picture and the child needs to figure out which pieces go where to complete the picture. We are planning to take this puzzle on the plane with us as the pieces won't fall off during turbulence and it will keep my daughter busy for a long time!
Perfect for little hands!

Purchased at Christmas time for our 5 year old and she loves it. Our 3 year old is now playing on the level 1 side and she loves it. If you buy the extra sheets just know they won't all fit in the case. We're thinking of purchasing a 2nd one for the little one and spilting up the extra sheets so they all fit. I love this toy!
My 5yo loves it!

Great toy for individual play

I bought this for my 3.5 year old, so that she'd have something quiet to do, when I was nursing our new baby. She LOVEs it, and its working great!She is so proud of herself when she completes the puzzles both with the line help and then without!A Great buy! I think it says for 4 years old and up, but at 3.5 years, she had no trouble at all:)
Great even for relatively young children

My almost-3 year old can do the puzzles on the "easy" side (which shows where to place the shapes), and even I have trouble with the "hard" side (which does not). My almost-5 year old likes to start on side 1 to learn where the pieces go, then flip it over and use side 2 as a memory challenge (remembering where the pieces went).The storage tray is great, as is the fact that the pieces are magnetic for travel. Next time we go on a car trip, we'll pack a couple of large magnets to help the kids retrieve dropped pieces!
Great for travel

I bought this for my 4-year-old daughter to use on our first long car trip to a vacation in Florida. I wanted to avoid using our portable DVD player as much as possible, and this definitely helped. She enjoyed it! It is very handy that the pieces stay neatly in the included tray. I would definitely recommend this.

I am a single parent of nearly 4 year old b/g twins so I bought two. I also bought the additional Animal and Shapes Pack to go with it. My Son has played with it every day since we got it. My daughter seems to want to play with it only when he's playing with it or if I'll play together, but, unlike my son, she doesn't seem to want to play with it on her own. Both are very proud and excited to show everyone when they complete a puzzle. Unfortunately, the lid won't stay shut when carrying with the additional puzzle packs in the case. Since I have two, I removed all the duplicate puzzles and split the remanders between them, that's worked fine.
Great travel purchase

Purchased each of our kids a Tangoes set for Christmas. I love that each card has a Level 1 and a Level 2 option for the same design which helps them advance their skills. We recently went on our first trip since the holidays and these kept the kids entertained for a while on the road.

About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent
I bought this for my 3 year old. He loves this toy and will sit and play with it for some time. Easy to take along and has a nice handle. My son likes to complete level 1 first and then flip the cards around and complete level 2. I bought an extra set of cards to give my son more variety since he plays with it so much. Great to take to restaurants or in the car.

Much fun and learning
By mommymonk
from Monticello, IA
I have a son that is almost 3 and he loves to match the shapes to the pictures. The cards have two sides; one that outlines where the shapes go and the other is just a solid picture to guess where they go. He always uses the outlined side of course, but the other side would be good for an older child, so it's fun for every age. I love that the shapes are magnatized so they stay in place and also have their own storage compartment so not to get lost. It comes with plenty of picture cards, which are thick and durable as well as the shapes.

About Me Grandparent
I was so pleased with this toy. I got it for my grand child to play with on the long vacation drive. She loved it! She is a bright 4 yr old. It occupied her time in the car greatly! She continued to play with it while on vacation and we even took it with us to the restaurants! LIFE SAVER!

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This product is very well made. It is perfect for travel. I used it during travel on an airplane. My boys (both 7 and 3) both enjoy playing with the tangrams. The game stores its parts very well. I have also bought the regular tangoes (not the Jr. version at an educational store) and we love those too.
