Review on πŸ”§ Magnetic Building Sets for Preschool Children: A Hands-On Educational Toy by Brent Gurney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great idea BUT difficult to assemble for 3 and 6 year olds

The idea with the magnetic tiles and balls was great. In fact, once built (by me) the kids had fun. However, neither the 6-year-olds nor the 3-year-olds were able to connect the troughs to the magnetic squares. The connections were too small. I imagined it was all magnetic. But that's not the case. Frustration brought tears to a 6-year-old boy who can follow instructions and assemble Legos without help. Parts of the parachute also break easily, which is also disappointing. Finally, building the towers was quite difficult as they were generally unstable and had to be taken apart to add new gutters. This toy needs to be renewed.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
