5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, Long-lived Toy, October 9, 2006

I have nothing but positive things to say about this toy. I purchased it for my 1 yr. old, not expecting her to get much play value out of it initially. However, a year later it has brought her -- and her father! -- constant play value. From learning about "apart" and "together, color grouping, magnetic polarity, learning shapes, stringing together, rolling, and everthing in between, the excellence of Magneatos seems basically limitless. And although she can't build complicated structures at this point, she enjoys watching us make different sculptures that she can help manipulate, break apart, and reconstruct. Another fantastic thing about this toy is that the magnets are just the right strength -- they stay stuck together when they need to, but are also easy to pull apart, avoiding frustrating a toddler.

I recommend (and have recommended) this to everyone I know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very durable toy, May 3, 2006

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

We bought these for our toddler several months ago. She is too little to make the constructions, but loves stringing the magnets together to make 'snakes'. She finds steel objects in the house that the magnets stick to. She likes them a lot more than wooden blocks. They are a good large size, but not too big for little hands to hold, easy to tidy up and don't hurt if you step on them!

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointed, January 15, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

When we saw the picture online it looked like we were going to be able to make what we saw in the picture...to our disappointment we later found out that the toy pictured on the box was not the 36 piece but actually about 150 pieces. So we opened the box and was only able to make a fraction of the structure. The concept was nice, but need to have at least 150 pieces to build something cool. The value was not there.
