Cute but Small: Stacking Blocks

I loved the multiple sides of the puzzle and how they look like building blocks that are slightly magnetic to barely hold together. Each block makes a rattling sound which my son loves like little maracas. Well, what I didn't like. I was blown away by how small this puzzle was. In the picture he shows how he fills a child's hand. It has to be a child, plus the building blocks fit in toddlers' mouths. Maybe I missed the dimensions in the description (if so I didn't check), I got the picture wrong. This would be a great stocking and not a birthday present, I only gave it to my son, not a wrap as a birthday present. It's cute, just not worth the price, you would expect it to be bigger at this price or cheaper at this size. I didn't want to give up on the return process and it's difficult to keep up with the parts so you'll have to hunt them down. They are easily lost because they don't hold up well and are small. If you rotate it more than 2 blocks, it won't stay together but falls apart, which is weird given the size. The images are detailed and colorful. My youngest loves it. But he turns it over after putting a few together (causing it to fall apart due to weak magnets, lol) to see if the other sides line up. They don't match, so if you put one side together correctly, all the other sides won't match. Then he loses interest. It's solid, that's for sure. But it hurts when kids throw it and it hurts worse than Lego when you step on it lol sharp corners but they're mini blocks. It's a great concept and nice detail pictures, just too small for me and mine, maybe good for the car if you keep track of all the parts. I really wish it was bigger, I'm disappointed and wish I could love this toy because it's a great toy it just needs to be a little bigger. Only 6 blocks in a box. Because they are small and the blocks hardly stick due to the weak magnetic field, this should be cheaper. I bought it in September before inflation got too high. Lower the price and make the magnets a little stronger and they will be 5 star or larger blocks with stronger magnets than perfect! Hope this helps someone. If you are looking for a little travel puzzle then this is great! But if you're like me thinking that these are chunky blocks that can stay together after the page is assembled, think again.
