This is my favorite purchase from Christmas. We have a 5 year old and 1 year old and were looking for a toy that could span the age ranges. Unfortunately with our young son being in the age range where we have to worry about choking our choices were limited. I decided and magnet building blocks and researched A LOT. I decided on Magformers and am very happy with my choice.
The magnets are strong and hold together well, and they are small enough to take a ziplock full of a few and bring with us on trips to keep kids entertained in the airports. Bring along a hotwheel or 2 and they can build different buildings for the cars to drive through! Whenever I break them out they immediately grab the attention of the kids in the room. Our 5 year old enjoys building with them.
This also works great for our 1 year old. Though he isn't 'building' with them he is enjoying connecting them together and watching them stick to each other, and of course he lllooooovvvvvveees breaking apart anything we build ;-) Most importantly he abuses these to no end through biting, throwing, chucking at the wall, etc. and not one piece shows any sign of wear. Considering I can't say that about any other toy we have ever bought that deserves more than 5 stars! Every piece is also large enough not be swallowed.
I had the opportunity to try out Magna-Tiles at a friends house. I can say that the magna-tiles look pretty cool with their semi-clear plastic colors, especially on a light table. However, I prefer the magformers for 2 major reasons. First thought the magna-tile look is cool the fact that they are solid pieces without gaps makes it especially difficult to pick up objects that are built without them breaking. The gaps in the magformers add a level of control, especially with the younger kids, that just isn't there with the magna-tiles. Secondly the magnets in the magformers are stronger so they stick together better.
I would definitely purchase this set again. I wouldn't recommend going with a smaller set - all pieces are in use when this set is being played with.
Highly recommend!!

What an AMAZING Value for Magformers! Comes with Wheels too!
When I first saw this 305 piece set of Magformers, I couldn't believe the price! I quickly scurried to find any information as to what comes with the set! Let's just say EVERYTHING your child would every need or want. What an amazing value! I found a You Tube video on the Magformers channel and from that moment on, I was sold! Want to build a walking robot? You can! Want to build a car? You can! Want to build a police station with a car? You can! No more hearing, "We need more Magformers!" Although, one can probably never have enough!I have used the Magformers brand for all four of my own children, as well as in my preschool classroom. I have never once had any issue with Magformers because they are the brand that meets ALL US Safety Standards for toys! Don't let yourself be fooled by counterfeit products on the market. U.S. toy safety standards are among the toughest in the world and federal law requires that every children’s product subject to a federal consumer safety requirement be tested by a CPSC-accepted laboratory for compliance with the applicable federal children’s product safety requirements. Magformers meets those tough standards!Play value? Wow, I can't even begin to talk about the play value of Magformers. The imagination the kids use is just amazing. I love that the manipulation of the magnetic pieces also helps with their fine motor coordination and spacial relationships! It's nice to see the kids build an elevator up the side of the refridgerator! They even have some of their smaller action figures that sit proudly on them. That's how strong the magnets are. Want to build a house for your small dolls or figures? You can do that too! Now I want an entire magnetic wall or a table for them!The number if different shapes and pieces in this set is simply overwhelming to a Magformer loving family like ours! We even have the adults that will help build structures. Talk about a STEM product!Magformers is a trusted brand with quality you can trust. What better way to learn than by a product that teaches! Wait until you see the size of the box! It's the entire width of my dining room table! At this current sale price, this is certainly a product to jump on! Anytime you can get the set for $1 per piece or less, it's a win. This includes so much more though!

We already had a 26 piece set given to us when my oldest turned 2yrs old. We put that set in a little bag and take it with us on trips and when we go out to eat and it always keeps her entertained. I bought this set so that we could build larger/more things at home, now that she's starting to build shapes rather than just stack, unstack, and color sort them. The die are kind of cool because if you're gentle, you can roll them without them falling apart. We'll see how my 2yr old does with them. It might be fun to have her practice her counting and eventually addition using the dots on the die. The wheels and the vehicle pieces are cool. The pieces are the same size as the basic ones, but have a metallic-esque look to them. Some of the designs in the book provided assume you also have the carnival set, but most of the designs can be made with this set. I've already mixed in the 26 pieces from our original set with these, so the picture is using all 144+26 pieces. We've played with other magnet tiles brands during playdates and I like the quality of these. The edges are rounder and despite occasional nomming by my 11mo old, these have shown zero wear over the past 10 months. They're very resilient and don't show scratches like some of the solid pieces in other brands. It is also much easier to separate these from each other when they're stacked than the solid tiles. Definitely recommend them!
