3.0 out of 5 stars Not as expected, December 28, 2006

This review is from: Quercetti Mandala Mosaic Magnetic Art (Toy)

I bought this for my 9-year old. She has been having fun with it, but I was disappointed in the quality of the item. When the set arrived, I had to put small magnets on each piece, some of which do not stick well. The magnetic board itself is easily bent if it is not kept in the frame. The problem is that you need to remove the frame to get to the mosaic pieces. The easel provided to set the frame in is not sturdy and not easy to work with. Could have been a better product for the money.

This review is from: Quercetti Mandala Mosaic Magnetic Art (Toy)

My 5 year old can't get enough of this toy. He's going thru page by page of the puzzle book that comes with the set and makes each one. It sits out on the coffee table ready for him to play with when the mood strikes him so I haven't had an issue with durability. It seems sturdy enough.
My 8 year old is not very patient with most things so she doesn't like this because she's having trouble figuring it out visually. Once she can't "get it" she gets frustrated so I'd say it's not a toy for everyone.
