Magformers Inspire Set: 30-Piece Magnetic Building Block Set for Creative Play and Learning

Katie Hindt: Fun for parents and kids. I got this for my 4 year old son who loves Duplos and building things.
I introduced the toy to him at 2 and 3, but really at 4 is when he really took to it and starting building some interesting and innovative things. Sturdy, well made and loads of fun for everyone.

Amanda: I looked into several brands for magnetic tiles and settled on these.
They are very strong and allow us to build many levels up (more than 3, which was the typical other brands). The magnets are very strong and my 2 year old sometimes needs help with them but my 4 year old can do it alone.

This set has enough pieces and variety to get you going and see if your kid would be into it.

Important to note is these are not compatible with other magnetic tile sets as the magnet is one the sides verse the corners so you can’t line them up. Magnatiles, Picasso, etc can all be used together but arnt near as strong. If your kid would be more into building a ball drop or tall 3D structures this is the brand- if they’d rather use roads and cars magnatiles would be fine.

CM: I was very impressed with the quality, size, and numerous ways these magnetic pieces could be used. Purchased for my almost 2 year old grandson who has some physical challenges working with his hands. These pieces are very colorful, stick well to each other, and allow for many different shapes to be made. Having them magnetic helps tremendously so he feels more in control. These pieces also stick to other metal surfaces which provides him with lots of play and potential. Even my 30-year old son played with them for an hour!!! Very high quality and happy the magnets are totally sealed inside each piece. Would make a great gift for other kids!!!

Jesús D: La habilidad y el conocimiento de 3D para los niños es muy apropiado logrando diferentes construcciones y generando otras no sugeridas en el folleto.

Caroline Marie: Bought this for my son that has special needs. He loves MegaBlocks, but I wanted him to try something a little harder to work with. He had lots of frustrations at first, as he didn’t understand what was happening (why are they sticking together?). But now he loves them! He doesn’t build things with them yet, but he explores how the magnets react. Very sturdy, which is excellent, as my son likes to throw things and let them fall on the ground. For kids with fine motor skills problems, this is perfect, as they have a little challenge to separate the shapes when they’re attached. What we do is stick them all one over the other and my son has to separate them. He’s getting better at it! Thought of buying a generic name, but this one’s worth the price.

Jeff: I think these things are decently built to last a fair amount of time, but not under constant punishment from kids. If they learn to behave and respect the pieces they should last pretty much forever.

There is so much you can do with these and it's tons of fun while working their 3d brain a lot. The way they built the casing for the individual magnets is brilliant: they have enough space inside the plastic to shift around themselves which lets them polarize the right way together all the time. It's a neat trick to fight against repulsion of similar magnet games. Kudos

CaliJen: This is an amazing, wonderful toy - one of my favorites! EVERYONE in my household loves playing with these - my one year old, my three year old, my husband, and myself. They connect quickly and easily, and the structures are very sturdy once they are built. I just purchased 2 more sets because my son wants to build more complex things like cars and helicopters. These lend themselves quite easily to preschool activities as well such as sorting by shape, sorting by color, counting, grouping, making patterns, etc. There is even a math book dedicated to Magformers: http://www.amazon.com/Magformers-63000-Math-Activity-Book/dp/B00ELPILXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424327548&sr=8-1&keywords=magformer+math+book. I disagree with other readers that these are overpriced. I have no problem paying a higher price for toys that are exceptional - and this toy is exceptional! I love how my son uses his imagination to make all kinds of different structures. They are even big enough that he can fit his smaller superhero figures inside. I also love that these are fairly portable. I can put them in a gallon sized ziplock bag and throw them in my purse or diaper bag to...

KColYo: This item has become my go to gift for children. The reasons why are, it is GREAT for such a wide age range. But best of all every child I have given it Magformers to LOVE them. I have given now many different variety of boxes, which another plus, the more they have the more things the kids think to build with them. I have seen eighteen month olds to adults create with these. They are almost addictive in figuring out different shapes to build. Another great plus, for parents, it's a mess free toy! It also doesn't take up much storage place since the pieces all stick and stack together.

I love giving this toy and the kids I give them to as gifts love getting them. Magformers have also won the Toy Portfolio platinum award. I love that they are expanding colors, shapes and a quality product. Yes, they can be a bit prices and that made me hesitant at first but when I saw children playing with them for hours at a time and all the pluses about the product I was a time and time again purchaser because it was a good toy on so many levels.

If you want to give a toy that children won't get bored with, that parents love and a toy that will last then...
