My kids play with these all the time and build very creative things. My younger kids and my teenagers play with them alike.

Ok, so I (male adult, 40+) bought this Geomag set with the idea to play with it one or two evenings, and give to my nephew. No way that is going to happen. I have to buy a new set for m nephew, and I am tempted to buy a second set for myself along with it. This is so much fun to experiment with. the set arrived yesterday, and I have played with it just one evening. Like anyone else, you start with a tetrahedron, then built other Platonic solids such as an icosahedron, to end up with a buckyball. It is wonderful to experience a feeble structure snap together in a stiff structure with a beautiful geometric structure. You can do much more than building such well-known structures. Simple geometric shapes I didn't know even existed emerge naturally. I just wish this would have existed when I was a kid. My advise: don't buy a small set, you inevitably end up upgrading. To give you an idea: this largest set with 120 magnet bars is just enough to build a Buckyball (90 edges) and an icosahedron (30 edges). have fun!

I gave this to my two grandsons as a birthday gift recently. They are three and five years old. They both love to create and build, so their mother suggested this toy, as they are always playing with a set like this at their pre-school when she picks them up. I am ordering panels to go along with the set for Christmas. I would highly recommend buying as large a set as possible, as they sometimes want to admire their creation for awhile as they create something else. Also, a larger set is better when two children are using it at the same time.
