User Submitted Guidecraft 72-pc. Magneatos Construction Set ReviewsDate: 2009-01-06 Fun for 20 month old and 5 year old My children received this product for Christmas. Both the 5 year old and the 20 month old love to play with it. Large, durable pieces are perfect for the 20 month old's hands and the pieces are so large that I do not have to worry about choking. Can't wait to get the curved pieces to add to our collection and give us more building options! Date: 2008-12-11 A favorite toy for over two years now My two, four, and six year old use this toy on a daily basis. Other than art supplies and kitchen food, these are the only toys that are never out of our play rotation. They have built towers as tall as themselves (with a little help from their engineer-minded uncle), and now they can build fairly intricate constructions on their own using the tips they learned from adults. The list of things they have made is pretty amazing: microphones, obstacle courses, magic wands, buildings, moats, towers, shapes, etc. They experiment to see how many sticks they can put together before they break apart, how many levels they can go up before it collapses. I can't think of a more durable, educational toy that we have purchased. The size is large enough that my one year old nephew can safely play with no risk of ingestion. The magnets are sealed completely inside the balls and encased behind plastic rings in the sticks. This is a toy that will last for years and will encourage open-ended play limited only by your child's imagination. Some other pluses: 1) the pieces are too big to sucked up a vacuum cleaner hose, so when they inevitably roll under the couch, you don't have to worry about clogging your vacuum hose, 2) the colors are unisex and 3) the sticks will stick to any magnetic surface -- you should see some of the interesting sculptures I've found on my frig. All in all, a fantastic lo-fi toy that has lasted for years of heavy duty use in our house. Date: 2008-09-17 My nephew loves it. I bought this for my 2 year old nephew and he loves it. He enjoys making "snakes" on the floor with them. He's very smart for his age. I assume that he will soon want something he can build something with rather than just get to stick together, but it's great at his current age. Date: 2008-08-29 Decent magnet blocks I would have to say I'm a little disappointed. I expected them to stick together a little better for building. They aren't the strongest attaching magnets. My son basically just throws the balls around now. Date: 2008-07-05 Lots of fun.... gave this toy to my grandson for his birthday 3 weeks ago, and he is still playing with it to this day.
