Classic Vinyl Activity Toy Reaches 70 Fanta-Stick Years!

PlayMonster and 9 Story Brands proudly celebrate 70 years of Colorforms® with a special edition 70th Anniversary set, available now on Amazon.com. The anniversary set features over 500 colorful repositionable and interchangeable geometric stick-ons that stick like
magic® for hours of mess-free, screen-free, creative play. Named one of Time Magazine’s Top 100 Toys of all time, Colorforms® repositionable sets have captivated generations of children with hours of imaginative storytelling and open-ended play.

Colorforms® started in the 1950s when art students, Harry and Patricia Kislevitz, bought rolls of flexible vinyl to create large works of art. They soon discovered that the colorful vinyl could stick to walls and offer an innovative new medium for children’s imaginative play. The first Colorforms® set — now housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) — was hand-cut by Patricia. Colorforms® has since evolved into a
myriad of innovations and licenses, and inspired the preschool-favorite Netflix series Charlie’s Colorforms City, produced by 9 Story Media Group.
