It's a simple product--a bucket of 400 colored squares, 100 squares each of four colors. There are more uses for these than you might expect, though. They can be sorted, stacked, laid out in patterns, and the edges are just wide enough to stand them up like dominoes.They are made of hard, durable, shiny plastic, and can be written on with a dry-erase marker and cleaned easily. You could use them to write letters on to build spelling words, doing vowels in one color and consonants in another.In our homeschool, we use them for probability, for patterning, and for making designs. You can grab a random handful of them, and make a bar graph of what colors you got in your handful. They're also good for teaching area and perimeter, and tiling a surface, since each tile is 1 square inch.Another favorite activity with these is for toddlers. While the tiles are a potential choking hazard and require close supervision, they're big enough and bright enough to supervise easily (they don't fit inside my choking hazard tester, but I still watch the little ones closely), and toddlers LOVE them. I took an X-acto knife and cut a slot in the plastic lid of the container that's just wide enough to fit the tiles through sideways. Now, the little ones love when I set out a handful on the table for them (they make a great clinky noise, too), and they'll spend forever fitting the pieces back in through the slot (sort of like a piggy bank). It's a great fine-motor development activity, and I can teach colors at the same time. "Where's a blue one? Can you put a blue one in now?"Overall, this is a simple, but worthwhile and versatile toy.

These are the absolute BEST tiles. They are about 3/8 inch thick and 1 inch square. Have been teaching elementary school for over 30 years, and these can be used in a variety of situations. I have made my own VOCABULARY BINGO games for Language Arts Vocabulary words, SCIENCE vocabulary words, etc, where I generate unique BINGO cards by only putting 25 words on each student card, but, have 40 to 50 Vocabulary Words. I grab into a can and pull out ONE of the Vocabulary Cards with the DEFINITION on it and READ this aloud to the class. The card has the WORD on one side, and the DEFINITION on the other side. (Teacher puts WORD on table in front of her, arranged alphabetically.) STUDENTS then look over their sheets and COVER up the WORD if they have it on their card with these PLASTIC TILES. Teacher lays the DEFINITION read aloud on table in front of her, with the WORD up, arranged alphabetically. When student has a BINGO, STANDS up and says so (multiple Bingos are possible) but..... they must be VERIFIED, by STUDENT reading WORD, and teacher saying "yes" if she did in fact read that definition. If not, NO, and student sits down. Fun GAME. Read more

Quality:- Well made product.- Color all the way through.- Solid- not bendable by kids goofing offStorage Container:- Clear plastic container with removeable lid holds the product and allows for easy storage.This is a good brand to buy if you are using these for elementary kids or middle school kids like I bought them for. Math is often a difficult subject for kids to master. By using these tiles I can more effectively teach algebra techniques by providing a hands-on approach so they can see tactically what is going on in the problem. Read more

I just received my tiles and the quality is exactly what I expected. I am so excited to use these tools to reinforce mathematics concepts. I look forward to working with my kids in this new school year at home. I highly reccommend this tool for your babies. Read more

I bought these to use for chore chart magnets. I printed the chores on paper and modge podged them to these tiles. They are awesome! I was able to use yellow for morning chores, red for afternoon, blue for evening and green for extra chores.I plan to use the leftovers as they were intended (a learning tool) with my 3yo while the big kids are in school this year.Couldn't be happier!

The product should include a box that is sturdy and will hold for kids usage or not have the box at all. This is basically baiting the customer. Read more

Used for making sounds boxes and utilized for math counters. Read more

These are versatile and durable plastic colored tiles for various uses in the classroom and at home. These are small enough to be a potential choking hazard for young children. But for the children I worked with (grades 4 - 6), they were just fine. I used a permanent marker and wrote words on these tiles to use them for a creative writing exercise. It was a lot of fun. I'm sure there are many other uses. I keep them in the original clear plastic container. You get a lot of tiles for the price. I was able to remove the permanent marker quite easily when I wanted to write new words on them. You can clean these in a bucket of hot water and dish soap (anti-bacterial dish soap might also be desirable). Overall, a versatile and quality learning tool. Read more
