Love this project plus a tip . TIP: It can be tedious to peel all the tiny backings off the sticky tiles. My 5 year old loves the project, but was quickly discouraged when having to stop and peel every single backing off. (It's hard, they are tiny!) I took some packing tape and taped the back of each block of tiles, essentially making the backing into one big piece. It's MUCH MUCH easier to peel the tiles off one solid backing that peeling each tiny backing off. My son LOVES it now and is looking forward to hanging them in his room when they are done.

Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics: Dinosaurs Reviews
A Sticky Good Time . My 6 year old son just loved this gift. It has hundreds of sticky squares (approx. 1/8 inch, maybe smaller) and the child has to put the correct colored sticker onto its assigned numbered square to create a picture. Sort of like a paint-by-number. It can be quite time consuming; he needed Dad's help but that is part of the fun. Motor skills are definately used for this project. It comes with 4 dinosaur pictures that are on a heavy paper/cardboard (similiar to the thickness of a gift box). The colored tiles are textured for a scale effect and some are shiny. Really pretty when put together. I would even consider hanging these on my sons walls in his dinosaur themed room. One drawback is that some of the tiles are similar in color and it can be hard to distinguish the coordinating color with the number. Not a big deal though.

Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics: Dinosaurs Opinions
A great project but needs some improvement . I purchased this set for my 5 1/2 year old twin boys who loooove dinosaurs and crafts. We have never done any mosaic work nor have we purchased anything from Orb factory in the past. We were very excited to get to work!
Upon opening the box - a nice sturdy box with a handle-we had 4 different dinosaurs to work on and a bag that contained all of the mosaic tiles. The first thing I noticed is there was absolutely no labeling of the mosaic tile pieces. They were all in one bag and NOT number labeled. Now this may not sound like a big deal; however I found it odd and confusing. Many of the colors were very similiar and it was difficult to discern the differences. The bag contained only a tiny sheet of picture directions and tile size pictures of the actual tiles with the numbers. The pictures of the tiles were slightly off in color as well. To work around this issue, I took out a sticky note pad and made my own number labels and separated the tile squares by color and labeled them myself. They ideally should have been separated at the factory and packaged in individually numbered bags or the tiles could have been on a single sheet backer with the number printed on it.
My second observation was that the dino pictures had the tile numbers printed on each square; however the colors they used at times did not match the mosaic tiles. This became confusing for one of my sons. He would forget about the number matching and start matching the tile with the printed color on the dino picture. Easy to do - no? I really have no idea why orb factory would do this!? We ended up having to take off all of the tiles he had color matched and of course damaged some of them and thus they could no longer be used. That leads me to my next criticism. No extra tiles. Why?? Just about everything for kids has some extra pieces. A few extra tiles in each color would be a vast improvement.
We completed 2 dinosaur pictures thus far and really like the finished product. We are going to hang all 4 when completed, in the playroom. The boys were able to complete the dinosaurs on their own after some initial help described above and they truly enjoyed the project. I also purchased the Christmas set when I ordered this. I have not opened it yet to see if we will have the same problems we encountered with this set. I hope not.
I would still recommend this product; however,at this price point we should not have the issues I mentioned.

a great teaching tool disguised as a craft project . My nearly 4 year old did two of the projects today (there are four in total) nearly all by himself (I started a couple of the tiles at first to show him the process)and loved it. In fact he didn't want to go to sleep, "I want to make dinosaurs all night". Don't let the recommended age range scare you -- if you know your child has the fine motor ability, try it.
great gift . we got this as a gift for a 4 year old boy. He loved it. he was busy making the dinosaur. It worked out very well.
Will keep them busy for hours on a rainy afternoon . My 7 year old and 4 year old enjoyed these tremendously. To assist my four year old, I just labeled each sheet with a post-it of the corresponding number, and he put all of that color sheet on its corresponding number before moving onto the next one.It's not what I'd call educational, but it's great for fine motor skills and doesn't require constant adult supervision or destroy the house, which makes this an excellent gift.The tiles are small, but manageable, and not overly sticky, so they are easy to clean up. Somehow the whole thing is interesting enough that it kept their attention for a good couple of hours in a row, and there was still more to do on another day. There are 4 total sheets in the package which is nice, and 2 kids can easily share and work together on different dinosaurs.We didn't have the problem cited by another reviewer about needing to tape a whole section to avoid little pieces coming off-- it was easy to peel a single tile off a large backing sheet full of tiles.
Dino sticky mosaics . My grandson really enjoyed putting the mosaics on his dinosaur.
We were able to play together and make a great picture.

Great gift for boys who love arts and crafts! . I bought this for my 4 YO nephew for Christmas, he loves arts and crafts and he LOVED this! The little squares were challenging for his little fingers to manage but he did it and didn't get frustrated while working on it. He was able to put them on well and it is more than a onetime project for a 4 Y/O boy. He lives away so this review is coming from my mom (his grand mom) I heard the tiles are really cool because they are shiny have texture...and that it will look really nice hanging on his wall when he is done. Highly recommend, much nicer than many I have seen in stores. Oh and it helps them with numbers and colors so it has an educational piece to it as well.
Super mosaic . My son loved this mosaic. He's five and it's perfect for him. He was so calm and enjoyed every minute of it. Especially showing it off when he was done. Orb Factory does a great job making the pictures look artistic and not at all cheap. Very educational because it helps him reinforce his number memory and helps with his fine motor skills. Worth every penny for some nice, relaxing playtime for the kids.
Great activity! . I bought this for my 5 yr old son. He really enjoyed it. It was a fun activity for the two of us to work on together.
