LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!! . I came across this while buying art supplies for XMas. I almost put it back on the shelf
because I was trying to stay focused on what "the plan" was for gifts for the girls. I am so glad
I didn't put it back. My daughter is almost 4 and she absolutely LOVES this! What a hit. She knows her letters, numbers, and shapes and this is a spin off of a color by numbers type activity. But it is not necessary for you to know your letters and numbers to do this. There is a key on each page, but the letters / numbers are written out in the color that you use.
We have twins who are nearly 2 one who kind of understands what you are supposed to do with this toy if you assist her. So I would say if you have an art-inspired (or a child who likes sorting) this is quite fun to do with that age as well.
My nearly 4 year old, can play with this by herself. But what I like best is that it is a great activity to do with her. It's a bit of learning and a bit of creativity and best of all, for me, it really IS NOT mundane. I did one by myself today, haha. It says ages 4-99 on the box, my guess is that quite a few adults end up making their own creation.
When you are finished it can be set up in the frame to display - my daughter especially loves this.
I am so happy with this kit that I plan on buying it for any birthday parties that may come up in her age range.

Orb Factory My First Picture Maker Reviews
Great Fun . We purchased this for my 5-year old daughter for Christmas. It was easy to get started and quite fun. We had quite the creative time making our own pictures using the many different colors. It was great to see my daughter match up the colors and numbers and be successful quickly. This could bring hours of fun in the future.

Orb Factory My First Picture Maker Opinions
Awesome toy! . I found this by accident for my 6 year old son and decided to try it. This is a delightful toy. The fact that it is magnetic is wonderful since it can be used and reused - over and over again. My son loves it and I have found that I even enjoy it. I was not sure if we'd be happy with the quality when we pulled it out of the box, but so far it is just fine and we are very happy with this. It was a great gift find and my son is playing with this toy more (the day after Christmas) then any other toy he got.

This is so much fun! . That is what my 5 year old daughter kept saying over and over while we were making the mosaics. She loves it. I thought it was great fun too. The pieces are sturdy foam and glittery. This is something she will be enjoying for a while because once she gets tired of the packaged pictures she can make her own.
Fun for everyone . We bought this for our two four year old grands and as soon as they sat down with the mosaics, everyone was around watching, then were waiting to have their turn. The adults challenged each other to see who could come up with the most creative design.I've since bought another for a 5 year old. I think this would be great for a senior citizen too!
Fine Motor Matching Activity . I work in the occupational therapy department in a school system and have used this activity to promote fine motor skills. It is excellent in many ways except for the flimsy easel stand they provide. Otherwise, the tiles are sparkly and a perfect size for developing fingers. My children (4yrs and 2yrs) are enjoying it and my students do as well!
Totally Lame . Totally unimpressed. The magnets barely stick. It's not fun. My girl has no interest and she LOVES the sticky mosaics. I wish I could mail it back but we opened it. I would never advise anyone to buy it. Just totally lame.
Enjoying this product... Few negatives . We ordered a few Orb Factory projects for our 6 year old son and knew that our almost-3-year old daughter would be wanting to participate in the activity as well. So we purchased this magnetic Orb Factory project. The idea of this is perfect. It is magnetic so no "mistakes" to be made as with the other sticker-type mosaic projects. The color matching with numbers or shapes is great and so educational. Her little fingers can manipulate the squares just fine. She LOVES the sparkles on them.
There are a few reasons this product is getting only 4 stars instead of 5 from us - despite the fact that we love the product. First, the magnetic board is not very strong and the magnets do not stick the best. It is adequate but can get frustrating for little hands that bump the square next to the one they're placing. Second, the stand and board are flimsy and knock over fairly easily. We end up using the board laying down while doing the project and setting it up on the stand for display most of the time. Third, the templates have nothing to keep them on the board. A clip or a tighter fit on the board would have been very helpful so the paper wouldn't slide around.
All things, however, that have not kept us from thoroughly enjoying the product for this age group nor keep from impressing us with its educational value!

Orb Factory My First Picture Maker . This is a fun creative toy for both adults and children. Reinforces knowledge of colors, letters, numbers and shapes, and importance of following instructions. No mess and loads of fun.
Good for hours of craft time . My daughter got this for Christmas and she was excited! She has put together 4 of the pictures already. The only thing I wish was more sturdy are the papers the numbers/letter are printed on, the paper is easily creased, so I don't know how long the papers will last. The magnet board and magnet squares are decent. Great for hours of capturing the child's attention!
