Marble Run Magnetic Tiles Toys,Magnet Building Blocks for Kids Ages 3-5 4-8, Brain Development STEM Learning Toy,Classroom Supplies,Birthday Gift for Boys Girls

This is a nice set, but it is missing a vital part to launch the marbles. 😢

So, my kids love this thing. It will entertain them for extended periods of time, which is awesome. But, as the adult that usually ends up building and rebuilding it after they knock it over, it's incredibly frustrating. The concept is great, build your own marble racer. The execution could be much better. The magnets have what I would call just-enough attraction to hold together, but are weak enough to easily be toppled. The ramps, while somewhat difficult to attach, also seem to come out easily and one of my ramps came with a broken peg, so it barely stays on.Based on my kids enjoyment, this is 5 star toy. Based on my unending frustration with it, I'd give it a 3. We'll split the difference at 4.

This toy has many different ways that it could be stacked and placed together. These magnet toys are great for any age. My son and my father in-law play with this item.Which gives us a great family night! really nice toy Two thumbs up!

I ordered this for my six-year-old son to play with. He has several other magnetic tile building sets that he really enjoys playing with. However this was his first magnetic marble set that he has played with. He was super excited to try it out. He says he gives it 3 stars. He said “it’s good but not that good”. I think he was disappointed with it.This is what he says he likes about it:1. he says that he likes that it is unique. He doesn’t have another toy like this one. It is a fun new way to play with his magnetic tiles. He likes the idea of it, as do I.2. he likes that It comes with lots of marbles. Marbles get lost easily, so it’s nice that it comes with lots to spare.3. It was easy enough to build. He says that he likes that he can create and use his imagination with it.I asked him to tell me what would make this toy even better. He said:1. It would be a lot more fun to play with if there were a lot more pieces. He said he isn’t able to build very much with the amount of pieces it has. I definitely agree with him. There’s not enough pieces for him to be creative with what he builds. The marble track is very short and isn’t very fun to watch marbles go down. If you want to get your kids a magnetic marble set, I definitely recommend getting more than just this set alone. This would be an okay set to add to a collection if they already have a bunch, but not very good as a starter set.2. While it was easy for him to build, he said that once it’s built it sometimes falls apart- it isn’t very sturdy. I think maybe the magnets should be stronger.3. He had a good idea to try to make it bigger using his other magnetic tiles, but he says that this set doesn’t work very well with his other sets of magnetic tiles. They aren’t really compatible with regular tiles.4. It comes with a little booklet that has a couple idea of what to build. But my son says he wishes it had step by step instructions on how to build it. It just shows a single picture of the structure- doesn’t tell you how to actually put it together. I can tell how it goes together just by looking at the picture, and I know he can too. I think having a step by step instruction would just be entertaining to him, sort of like a Lego set. He likes stuff like that.My son and I both love the idea of this toy. Unfortunately, it didn’t come with enough pieces for him to be able to actually have fun with it. I think that was the biggest thing. If there was enough pieces included for him to actually create different mazes and use his imagination I’m sure it would be just as fun as his regular magnetic tiles.

Was a birthday gift the magnetic pieces collapse!

My daughter has standard sized magnetic tiles and I got this thinking she could use it with what she has. These are very small. They seem to be targeted towards toddlers but the balls alone are a choking hazzard with how small they are. The balls are less than an inch wide. It comes with a booklet of things to build however they don't include most of the pieces required. This set as a whole was just a complete miss for us.

We have a set of the name-brand magnetic marble run, and these work just as well. My son (6 yo) loves to play with marble runs, but traditional ones still require a lot of adult involvement. These magnetic run sets really let him create and play on his own, which we all love. The pieces stick together well. BUT, they are smaller than our other magnetic tiles and the 2 sets don't work together.

This Montessori-based toy utilizes components of both a marble game and magnetic tiles which I have often seen manufactured as two separate items. This toy is manufactured of safe plastics, not sustainable components, however, I am not sure those would be possible. Components come separated into various bags along with stickers to decorate them and a pamphlet which gives the child ideas about how to build various sets.The only thing I would comment on is that there is no storage container enclosed which will be important so that parts aren’t scattered all over the place. But that is likely an easy consideration considering the many ways this toy can be used.I think children will enjoy this toy for manyhours in independent play. The items can be put together not only in the ways the pamphlet suggests but the child is encouraged to use their imagination to build in a range of creative formats from simple to more complex. (I would guess you could purchase more magnetic tiles separately to add to the set and increase the complexity. Magnetic tiles are a big draw in my experience.)I highly recommend this toy.
