Quercetti FantaColor Junior BASIC consists of:- * One transparent board, large holes. Approx LENGTH 29 cm / just under 11 1/2 " WIDTH 23 cm / 9 ". * Two Plastic side stands. * Eight thin cards, each with a different coloured picture one side and a plain outlined image replicating the coloured picture on the other:- Butterfly, Yacht, Ladybird, Fish, Dinosaur, House, Girl, Apple with Caterpillar. * 48 large brightly coloured plastic 'pegs' approx DIAMETER 3.5 cm just under 1 1/2 " and DEPTH 2 cm 3/4 ". There are 12 each RED, BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW. My little one really enjoys playing with this, either solo or with me. While playing with and observing I feel this is great for colour recognition, matching, patterning, copying, counting, more/less concepts, full & empty board, satisfying, imaginative, visually stimulating and tactile. I do feel the board, stand and thin cards would not withstand any rough treatment. A rough and tumble toddler would easily break this. Also the side stands keep falling off when any pressure is applied pushing the pegs into the holes, (ensuring the stands were pushed right onto the board in the first place). The stands now remain in the box. The board is used flat on the floor or table, stable therefore easier to push in the pegs. Plain card is put underneath the transparent board, to create a blank canvas for pictures and patterns. Upturned it makes a super stencil for art and craft too. Taking into account the negative aspects, I have no regret purchasing this!
