 Increase child's IQ with Spacial learning December 27, 2008
Went through this game with 3 of my children. Builds confidence, although after the 20th card, it may get frustrating with no clues (even for a 5 yr old), but with alittle encouragement from mom or siblings, they build confidence, creativity, and increase their math spacial perception (good for later math skills). My children are all now in either high maths/english/gifted programs. Highly recommended but only if parent/caregiver will help push them along occasionally when they are stuck.

Though I like the idea of the toy, there are couple of reasons I didn't like this as much as I though I would:
1. From the photos it appears that the figures are like kid's jigsaw puzzles where the border is raised so that kids can easily fit the pieces without the pieces moving. But only two figures are like that. The rest are just pieces of thick paper with figures printed. So no real value for money and makes me think that the packaging is a marketing poly that makes customers think all puzzles are of the same type.
2. The puzzles range from just joining two half circles to form a circle (which I think a 2 or 2.5 yr old could do) to fairly complex ones probably more appropriate for a 5-6 year olds. Unless you are buying it for a 2-3 year old and plan to use it for 3 years or so you will 'waste' part of it.
Fantastic Play Alone Game March 11, 2008
I homeschool my kids and I bought this to keep my youngest kidlet (3) busy and happy while I was doing school with his older brothers. It was an instant hit! The only problem is that the older boys (6 & 12) want to stop and play with it too. I realized yesterday that it's time to get more tiles and more challenges. When my 3 year old accomplished his first pattern (2 half circles to make one circle) he had a smile from ear to ear and said, "I wanna do it again, Mommy!" and he said that after every card that he completed until they got too hard and then he was content to watch his brothers do the harder ones. I am excited to get our new tiles and more patterns. I might order the magnetic set for my 3 year old to help him keep his tiles in place as he fumbles around as well as being able to take them on an airplane for educational fun in the sky!Magnetic MightyMind
Great Game February 1, 2008

I was searching for a game that my 3yr old could play with me on rainy days and came upon Mighty Minds. I was hesitant because I thought he would lose interest fast but decided to give a try because he needs to start learning about matching and patterns. As soon as we opened the box he was interested the shapes, then we started with the patterns and he loved playing the game! We played the game for 20 mins and if it weren't for bedtime I think that he would have played longer.
With that being said, I do think that it is not for a child under the age of 3 which is what the game recommends. I teach pre-school and some children are still very interested in putting object in their mouths and so it should be cautioned that the shapes are a choking hazard. Really this game is wonderful for spending time with your child and I don't think I would leave my son to do this game by himself until he is older because I know he might try to put the shapes in his mouth.
I am thinking that this is going to be the gift that I give for all my friends children who are 3 and older for birthdays and etc. My family really loves this game!
Great toy! August 18, 2007

I just got this toy for my 28 month old. She is a little younger than the recommended age but very mature, so I thought I'd try this with her. She finished cards 1-10 this morning, but I have to sit with her and do them "together," meaning I have to talk through it with her... (What shape do we need? What color?), though I do not help her actually handle the pieces. His 3.5 year old brother is out with dad doing some errand, and when he comes home, I am sure he is going to be THRILLED with this toy. This is the kind of brainteaser that I am confident is perfect for his age, a great "quiet time" toy. I think this set will be good for him through 4 years old. Then I'll get the more advanced version.
