Review on Magnetic Construction Educational Set by Veatree - Lengthen Your Child's Learning Experience by Colin Zilinskas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappoints Best in Novelty & Gag Toys

I have to agree with another reviewer that you CANNOT do all of the structures in the brochure due to the weakness of the magnets and/or the ball size to stick length ratio. In the brochure, the sticks are about 3 times longer than the diameter of the ball, so such designs are quite possible. However, the sticks in THIS SET are 5 times longer. At first I thought the reviewer just didn't know how to make models or follow directions. It's not relevant. You really CANNOT do all the structures pictured in the brochure. The structures just fall on themselves and that's daunting for a kid who loves to build. We have other magnetic building toys and while I expected this to be a popular Christmas present this year (even opening early), it actually only got a few minutes of play with it. (AND NO COMPETITION with other toys!) I wish I had bought them and spent that much money. :(

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • I won't say anything
