Cra-Z-ArtMagrific Magnetic Set (100-Piece)

I now own two 100-piece sets of these magnetic blocks. My 3-year old loves them, and really has enjoyed them for a while. The magnetic connection is really fun to put together - the magnets connecting is just a neat feeling. This is one of those toys that I find adults enjoying as much as the kids (though most of what I build gets sacrificed to whatever the little one is building).The magnets work well, and are strong enough that you can build pretty big structures. One of my kid's favorite things is to just make a tower, and she can usually get it about 2 feet high before it becomes unsound. We haven't broken a single tile yet, so the pieces very sturdy.One suggestion for play - it's fun to put flashlights inside the things you build. You can also make a small box out of tiles of the same color, and put a bright flashlight inside to light a dark room with any of the colors the tiles come in.After you play with these for a while, you'll stop thinking just in terms of boxes and houses, and then you can really make some interesting things and incorporate other toys.Highly recommended, and by the way, I thought these seemed a little pricey at first, but I'd now say they're a good value. Several family members have purchased these after having played with them at our house.

The media could not be loaded.  I was skeptical about buying these because they were so much cheaper than other brands. I've never used other brands, but I am happy to say our family loves these. I have a 5 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old boys and they have already taken a lot of abuse and held up great. The magnets are strong enough to build things quite tall. You can carry some sturdier creations around without them breaking, but a lot of them will break if you try to carry them. That's not an issue for us though as we don't usually feel the need to move them around.My 5 year old has really shown creativity with these and he has played with them almost daily since he got them for Christmas nearly a month ago. Lately he loves to make creative boxes and containers and put toys or "presents" in them for us. I've also noticed everyone who sees my Son play with them wants to try them. My husband and I actually enjoy playing these with our kids so much that we ordered a second set today.

Grandson's liked first set so much, I got them another for even bigger builds! They build them crash the structure. Sturdy, no cracks or fractures.

The magnets seem a bit weak and my daughter gets frustrated sometimes specifically when trying to create the sphere in the instructions. She's since learned to just use them to build her own things and how structures work with support. It might have been better to use neodymium magnets the price of $80-90 is right around the edge where you could expect a bit more but are satisfied with the results if it was $150 I wouldn't expect anything but neodymium magnets. The only reason I could see for having weaker magnets is so the kids can pull them apart easier. My 20-month-old can pull them apart easily so a bit stronger wouldn't hurt.The plastic seems to be sturdy and the colors are vibrant for the kids to have fun with building and matching the colors.

After 6 kids and 100s of, throw away the next day, toys. My youngest has consistently played with and created masterpieces with them going on 3yrs now. I was so pleased with how much he enjoys using them that i bought another 120 piece set and he is building 7ft skyscrapers, villages, castles. Action figure hideout complete with garage and a cage for his 3 ft tall T Rex.

These are perfect. My grandson's love them. They spark creativity. They won't disappoint you. The very first set that I bought were the "Magnatile" brand. They were $120.00. This is the same exact tiles and work as good as the "Magnatile" brand and these are only $65.00. I have 2 of the 100 piece sets at my house. My 4yr old will build something and use all 200 pieces. I ask him what are you building and his answers are: buildings, forts, castles and zoo's that house his small animal collection and a king kong that climbs these buildings.

My grandkids love love love these. I would suggest buying several sets. They are a lot of fun. They are a little pricey but that being said they stand up to the challenge of 4 kids.

My boys ages 3 & 7 absolutely love playing with these. Great for working on shapes and colors with my 3 year old. They can sit down and build with these for long periods of time. They are also very sturdy. They have withheld being dropped, thrown, and stood on. They stick together just fine; I know other reviews complain about them not being strong enough. We plan on buying the smaller set also so we have more pieces!
