Review on 🧲 Magnetic Developmental Activity Set by Melissa & Doug by Ethan Carpenter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointed - poor quality

I love all Melissa & Doug products. This is the first disappointment in 5 years. The magnetic attraction is not enough to easily manipulate the balls. He keeps dropping the ball, even with adult accuracy compared to a toddler. Ideally, this could be a methodical exercise, counting and manipulating the balls for each number. That's not how it works. They move without intention and fail at intentional movements. This creates a chaotic mess, and there is no way this can be a logical operation. .it's getting pretty heeeee let's move these tiny crazy balls as fast as we can all over the board for 2 minutes then I get bored and move on to something new. This was the second board of this type that we have bought. I bought this one because my kids really love the other one. They're fighting over another one, and they haven't used it since opening day. Don't waste your time, money or energy.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No
