Editorial Review

For builders who are ready for something more interesting than blocks, Magnetix construction sets offer an intellectual and innovative way to build awesome 3D sculptures. This basic set comes with an assortment of metallic-colored plastic bars with opposite polarity magnets on the ends along with a bunch of steel balls to connect the joints. Kids can exercise their creativity to make shapes, structures, vehicles or whatever comes to mind. Magnetix is also a great tool for the classroom: it can be used to form physics and chemistry models and mathematical shapes to enhance the curriculum. This is a fun and challenging toy for both children (starting at about age 3) and adults and provides an excellent family activity that engages all members. The kit features 150 pieces (90 bars and 60 steel balls) to make over 500 different designs and a color booklet provides construction ideas for those who need a little inspiration. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: Magnetix 150 Count - Hot Metallics (Toy)

Our son received this building set from his cousins and right away it was a hit. My husband and I have even played with it after our son has gone to bed. Some things pictured in the booklet are hard for our son to build (he'll be 4) but he finds his own things to build. This is the one toy he has not lost interest in, he brings it out everyday. Fun for all ages.
