Review on ๐Ÿงฉ Exploring Creativity: Lewo Educational Montessori Tangrams for Geometric Learning by Keith Aluguvelli

Revainrating 3 out of 5

High quality but flaws

You say there are 130 pieces? Then it should be good, right? Not right. It would be better if this set had 30 pieces instead of 130. None of the molds you need to craft require more than 20 or 25 pieces, so the fact that there are 130 in the set is a waste of time. It just means you have to spend more time when the kid drops the pieces on the floor. Each item is of high quality. Beautifully crafted. But they are small. If your child has younger siblings, you should be aware that you now have 130 choking hazards in your home. If your child has not yet completely gone through the "everything goes in the mouth" phase, then this is completely unsuitable for your child. It has very few cards. We build 3 figures a night to help our 4 year old (soon to be 5) learn spatial thinking. We'll go through all the forms in just a few weeks. It would be nice if they included more building ideas for construction. Finally the parts are well made, unfortunately they are quite smooth so a small child will struggle to build the mold without messing/moving the parts. It would be nice if the sides were rougher so they don't fly apart every time a child tries to place two pieces side by side. However, high quality and fun. I just wish we had fewer but more shapes, more cards to build, and the shapes were rough instead of smooth.
