Toy Review - Sticky Mosaics by Orb Factory

We had a great time today at the Mansfield Unplugged Arts and Music Festival.  Sure, it was over a hundred degrees, but that just makes you appreciate air conditioning more.  We met lots of neat folks from in and around Mansfield and were able to tell them all about our store.  Some people had not heard of our store, some had heard but had not yet visited and some had enjoyed the awesomeness of Town Square Toys.  We had a plethora of arts and crafts toys on display.  It was just a tiny smattering of what we have in the store, but it gave people an idea of what they could expect if they visited.  

One thing that we had to show people, were some Sticky Mosaics by Orb Factory.  I think these are so cool!  There are several different kinds to choose from and they come in single and multiple packs.  You are given a design template to go by.  On the template are various outlines of shapes such as triangles, squares, or circles.  They can be in all kinds of different colors.  In addition to the template, you will have several sheets of soft, foam shapes, corresponding to the types designated on the templates.  All you have to do is match the shapes and colors and build your mosaic.  The foam shapes are all pre-cut and sticky on one side.  No messy glue to worry about.

Since these are mosaics made of tiny bits of foam, they are not designed for kids under three.  That being said, if your little one is not prone to putting things in his or her mouth, this would be fun craft project for them to do.  It would definitely be a great little thing to do together.
