This Toy is a Keeper!
I bought a 48 pc. set for my 3 year old five years ago. Since then we have purchased two more sets. My 8 year old still plays with them. At first, my children weren't sure how to use them, but I sat down to show them some basics and within five minutes they were busy building. The longer they have had them, the more things they learn to make with them. My 8 year old girl enjoys making shapes and all sorts of different objects. My 6 year old neice loves to build "houses" for her animals. My 5 year old son makes ramps, roadways and garages for his cars. All three of them do all sorts of other things with them; those are just some of their favorites --to give you an idea of the varied possibilities. Our 10 year old neighbor loves to play with them as well. This toy spans a large age group.Magnatiles are very safe. I also have a smaller child, and I am not worried if any of the pieces get left out; they are too big to swallow and there are no sharp or unsafe pieces. Children love to build things and Magnatiles are an easy beginning for even the youngest builder. The magnets are strong enough to cling together well even if you get "close enough". I have had my tiles for five years, and I have never had one to break. They seem to be a sturdy, reliable, fun, educational toy.I plan to keep mine even after my children out grow them. They are a great toy to have around for children of our guests. Since you can't just run down to Wal-Mart to buy this toy no one else I know has them, so when visitors come over they enjoy playing with this "new" toy. I recommend the clear ones; the children like to see the animals and cars that they have put inside. I also recommend the biggest set (110 pcs) because it is the best value, plus your children will be able to build bigger and better with more pieces. We started with a 48 pc. set and it was big enough for our young ones to build and play with. As they grew, so did their desire for more tiles to make more things!As a note: I can never find these used on ebay, so people must not be getting rid of them! They love them, too, I guess.Ver másVer menos
