1.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, December 21, 2006

This toy is a classic example of "you-get-what-you-pay-for." I chose this one instead of the more expensive magna-tiles. The set is very small. The square shapes are only 1.5", and the play board is only 7.5" square. The magnets are very weak. Pieces fall over and don't stick to the board. Structures fall apart easily before they can be completed. The magnets are placed only on the outside edges of the pieces, so it is not possible, for example, to build a six-sided block. It is really a 2-D set, not a 3-D set. The circle shapes do not have magnets at all.

My son has a set of these shapes both at Pre-K and at home. He plays with them for hours, building houses, cars, you name it. It's a simple toy but well made and well worth the $20. I've balked at the more expensive Magna Tiles--these are a perfect, cheaper substitute.

The magnets just aren't strong enough to make the toy worth playing with. Due to the weakness of the magnets, I would not recommend this toy.
