My 12 year old son can't put this toy down. It is an excellent way to foster creativity and an all around great way to occupy inquisitive hands!
Very nice!

These were great. My five year old likes it, and I think will grow to appreciate it more as time goes on. The magnets don't chip and are a good strength.
annoyingly fascinating

This is a very clever and quite beautiful little thing. The magnets aren't strong enough to resist much hand pressure so complex pointy structures can fall apart - but that just means you get to play some more and recreate and explore. Hard to put down. And it looks so intriguing just sitting there - so then you play some more... Perhaps a little pricey, but a really neat little thing.
Very successful gift

The gift was given to a boy turning 8. According to his mom it was an immediate favorite, not only with him but with his brother turning 5. They played with it, took it to school, etc. The mom doesn't like her kids to have lots and lots of "stuff", but she seemed pleased with this addition to the boys toy collection

Got this for my 8 year old nephew. He loves it. It definitely fosters creativity, both in terms of visual creations, logistical placement of pieces and the physics of figuring out how they can magnetically work together. He put the pieces together in numerous ways. I encouraged him to look through the booklet that came with the toy - a great addition to further their learning and get their creative juices flowing.
