3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea but magnets not strong enough!, November 2, 2008

This review is from: Magneatos Jumbo Curves (24 pieces) (Toy)

Unfortunately, these were a bit frustrating for my preschooler who wanted to build his structures higher than two levels. The toy is very sturdy and durable and the concept is great. If the magnets were stronger there'd be sooo much more one can build and learn about basic architectural concepts.

Nice big magnets, tested in our home on a couple of weeks under 1-year-old who got the concept and does play with them. Very cool! By my standards, maybe the magnets could be a little stronger, but the baby seems to be enjoying it all the same.

My 18 month-old likes these mainly because he's REALLY into playing with balls. The Jumbo pieces are great for small hands. However, the number of items in the box would not build the structure shown in the picture (I estimate two sets might do it), and my older child was disappointed at how little she could do with the 24-piece set.
