Educational Toy: Having them in school to learn all sorts of different 2D shapes and discover fractions. Good for kids who love making shapes, letters and designs and struggle with holding them Fine motor and visual motor skills The spikes on the board make it easy for little fingers to put the bands on and stay on. Really expand the range of shapes they can make. All the boards felt very firm and secure and held up well when played with The bands were sturdy too and none of them would break easily.
