Review on Hippococo Marble Magnetic Building Blocks by Philip Latham

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Have fun. Recommend

Santa gave it to the kids for Christmas. We have some marble walkways and magnetic building blocks, so this seems like a good mix of both. We love this set! This year the most Christmas presents were played with. My 7 year old took it straight away and did some really cool runs. My non-tech 5 year old, who is usually frustrated with marble walkways tipping over easily, also played with this - a lot more than I thought. They're big, easy to assemble, and teach basic math and reasoning. As mentioned by previous reviewers (but that goes for all these construction toys) you really need more to build longer tracks. And the price is not cheap. We've started using blocks from other sets to get higher runs and will probably end up buying another set, hopefully on sale.

Pros
