Item : B000CBSNKQ Customer Reviews Fun for me too, but she does this on her own by .. C.L. () I got this for my 3 year old, she loved it from day one. It was one of the first toys she would play with for long periods of time, on her own. She figured things out with it, how to create new things, shapes I wouldn't have thought of. And you can see that there is a spatial recognition going on, since certain triangles fit some places and others don't. It's great to see her need another square and grab two right triangles. A year later, she still loves them. I will say this, because I haven't seen it elsewhere, when we first got them she pinched her fingers a few times between the tiles. I have too. The tiles click together and are pretty strong. I wouldn't say it's a big deal, but it does hurt (doesn't break the skin). After a few times, you learn how to handle them so they don't get you. Worth it by .. Jennifer Hardy (East Bay, CA USA) My daughter loved playing with these tiles at her friends house so I bought her some at Christmas. She's three, therefore she gets frustrated easily when they fall over, but besides that, the magnet tiles are one of her preferred toys out of the hundreds in her room. Very disappointed. Wish I got something else for that price by .. Mr. Mark (Boston) I got these Magna Tiles for a 4 year old for Christmas. After seeing all the 5 star reviews I figured this is a no brainer purchase and I was happy to buy something that I thought would be a huge hit as a gift for a 4 year old. When the box came in the mail it was light and thin, like a standard box of chocolates, not substantial at all. That was the first warning that this was not going to be a great gift but I put it aside and hoped what was inside would be great. On Christmas morning he opened it up and I was so underwhelmed and disappointed by what was inside. It looked like just a few plastic colored tiles with magnets inside the edges, nothing special. I kept saying to my sister "I spent $___ just for this?!". I felt they should have cost 1/5th of the price considering what they are, just plastic tiles with magnets in the edges. The boy played with them for maybe 2 minutes and he built a few boxes and everything else he built fell apart so he got bored and went off to play with more fun toys. That was a few months ago. I checked in and he still barely plays with them now. And he loves to build things. The structure of whatever you're building falls apart all the time. Theres nothing to lock them to each other to maintain the shape of what youre building. And the tiles themselves are lifeless with no real character. I think Legos would be a lot more fun because legos have character and you can lock them to each other so what you build holds together. With Magna Tiles its like building a deck of cards and if you move it a little they fall apart. What 4 year old is delicate with their toys? None I've ever met. I was very disappointed with these tiles and I wish I could return them. I guess they make nice coasters to put your drinks on. Expensive plastic coasters. Fun for my 2 and 5 year olds! by .. Kathleen M (San Antonio) My mom is an educational toys nut and gave this set to my boys for Christmas. I thought it a bit silly since they are pricey, but I am SO impressed! Both the 2 and 5 year old boys love them! My 5 year old makes the most amazing towers and fortresses. Very impressive. I'm actually here on Amazon to buy another set!! Don't skip out and get the smaller set... You'll need more! They have lasted years in my house! by .. Gillian F. Earle (Long Branch, NJ United States) Not only do I agree with the reviewers about how they, are fun for everyone easy to clean up and they have lasted 6x longer than any toy in the house. My mother(also a teacher) bought my kids the big set after playing with the 32 piece set at her house. I thought she was crazy spending all that money on a toy. They get played with every single day, my daughter just built herself a Bakugan Holder. They have been in my house 3 YEARS and have not had one break or crack or anything. My children have been playing with them from 2- 7.5YEARS OLD, and continue to do so. I think they have lasted longer than anything I have ever purchased for them. Clean up is kind of fun because the magnets allow them to be picked up with ease. I LOVE THESE THINGS I don't think my children will ever outgrow them, and I find them much more fun to build with than any other toy out there!!!!
