Review on ๐Ÿงฑ Explore Endless Fun with Blockaroo Magnetic Foam Building Blocks by Chris Santos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No STEM toys for children over the age of four!

It really is a toddler/preschooler toy - and expensive. My first three photos show what you get in the 100 piece set. Only the 12 round and square pieces in the first photo have magnets on all four sides of the block, and they're the only ones that can be stacked into a tower. The blocks in the second photo have two magnets per block so they really only build small objects like a robot or an airplane etc. The blocks in the third photo only have one magnet per block so they are really limited to closing the block decorate structure. . The video for the 100 block set is very misleading. The Tugboat cannot be built with a 100 piece kit as it requires ten square blocks and the kit only contains six. "Vehicle" cannot be built with a set of 100 pieces because the set does not have wheels. And for a giant tower, you only need 200 square blocks, but there are only six of those in a set of 100. And this without taking into account all the auxiliary blocks that were required to create this structure. It will take almost 1000 blocks to build! So this is by no means a fabulous creative kit - very disappointing and very expensive! Does anyone really want to pay $139 to build a robot or buy bath toys?! I am returning this set.
