    CAUTION: Magnets can cause serious health hazards. If more than one magnet is swallowed, magnets can attract to each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal. Keep all small magnet parts out of the hands of children who place objects in their mouth, especially children under the age of three.

    Missing Instruction Booklet

    When my son opened this package, there was no instruction booklet. So all he's been able to do is play with the magnets. This looks like it will be a fun toy if we had some guidance on usage. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: Some toys do require directions - We contacted the manufacturer about the exclusion and our customer promptly received instructions.)

    Great science project that led to lots of other science experiments with magnets.

    Good Set, Train Could Be Better

    I bought he product to use as a demonstration of magnetism for my son's grade 3 science class (I am not a science teacher, just an involved parent). The set of magnets was good and varied, and the experiments interesting. The primary problem was the maglev train set. The train is the "crowning glory" of the set, and featured on the cover of the train. In the end, I got it to work, but not with ease. The set is composed of 5 blocks of wood one is the train, 4 are the tracks. Additionally, there are two long strips of magnet for the tracks, and two shorter ones for the train undercarriage. Finally, 6 plastic railings serve to keep the train centered (3 on each side). As you can imagine, 4 blocks+3 railings on each side+1 strip on each side, is not exactly even. Basically, you can put it together once and that is it. It would be much better if there were 4 blocks, 4 railings per side and 4 strips of magnet per side, to put it together. Second, the blocks do not stay together evenly. Considering how sensitive it is to the tracks being perfectly aligned end to end, some additional equipment to keep it aligned (e.g. hooks or clamps, or matched wood) would have been a great help. Finally, the train is highly sensitive to the width between the magnetic tracks, and the width of the plastic railings. Yet, few guides are available. A better solution would be slots for the rails, or perhaps something like magnets from the side to keep it centered. All in all, the kids had fun, and it worked reasonably. Still, I would prefer a better set.

    My 8 year old son and I loved the magnets and levitation experiments (10 in all). We even made 2 additional trains with the extra magnets and a piece of foam board. He used it in our church science fair and showed it in his school classroom as well.

    This is a great Science Project. He is still currently working on this project but the directions are easy to read and follow for a 12 year old boy who hates to read.
