Out of all the building toys my kids have ever had and even working in childcare, the coolest I found our magnetic tiles and building products. We have three different kinds now and love all of them.
The first two are very similar, just different brands. They differ in where the magnets are so they do not always work well together but they are both amazing. The solid ones do make stronger bonds with slightly more powerful magnets but they are harder to find. Both of these sets are great for building cars, buildings, geometrical shapes, and getting creative.
The third set we have is much different, it is balls and rods. This set allows you to get really creative, and the bigger the build the stronger the magnets hold. The balls also allow you to get many angles and my kids love the spinning builds.
All together you can build amazing things!
Another reason I find these blocks amazing is because they travel! We have a small backpack that we keep some in and take them with us to other people’s houses, restaurants, or other day outings. They do not make a ton of noise, they stick together so they don’t disappear and they are easy to clean up when the food comes. Plus they entertain the kids for hours and they do not get tired of them.
Overall I give these four ½ Stars. They only lose that ½ star because they are expensive and sets are small. Go big when you buy so you have enough to enjoy or make the next birthday party a magnet theme party and ask everyone for them.
