Review on PicassoTiles 3-In-1 Building Block Set: Rocket, Bus, Train Theme For STEM Learning And Early Education - Magnetic, Pretend Play Toy For Kids by Mdl Thurston

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Caused more tears than fun - Magnets not strong enough for this shape

My kids (and I) love Picasso tiles. They had Magformers when they were younger and loved them, and Picasso Tiles were much more reasonably priced than the Magnatiles brand, so that's what we went with. Overall, we're happy with Picasso Tiles, and I would highly recommend the marble set.That said, while the Ferris wheel structure itself is neat and spins surprisingly well, it would be an awesome product if only the magnets were stronger. For building a single layer, it works great, but trying to create many of the multi-layer designs the product comes with, the tiles begin to fall off the bottom of the Ferris wheel.My kids enjoy building things on it with existing Picasso tiles, but after about 10 minutes of them carefully planning their perfect Ferris wheel, I hear a crash and scream as the bottom tiles fall off due to magnet strength, then it becomes top heavy and spins quickly, knocking the rest of the tiles off as well.
