Great concept--refinement needed

The packaging and contents were immediately attractive to our nearly-three-year-old grandson. Nothing like balls and sticks to get a kid's attention! He instantly caught on to building shapes--structures, paths, "bowling" set-ups. We were impressed with the quality of the pieces and the effectiveness of the (rare-earth?) magnets used in the system. One downside that could be improved: the balls are slick plastic, resulting in the sticks sliding around and unable to hold shapes well of anything but the simplest pyramid structure. Suggestion: texture the balls and stick ends with a minute pattern of bumps so that they catch into each other.
Great Toy for Little Hands

I bought this for my son's first birthday. He loves it, my three year loves it, and we love it too. The magnets are just the right strength where you can make cool shapes, but they are easy for little ones to pull apart. The pieces are big and colorful. There are plently of pieces in the jumbo set to keep young ones entertained.

My nephew loved the Magneatos. They are easy for him to use and his sister enjoys helping. Great for kids into building and re-building, cleaning up after is easy for moms.....

The parts were much larger than I had expected, but they are just right for my 2 and 4 year olds. The only problem I have with them is that the magnets are not strong enough to build anything upward as pictured in the ad. We attempted building and the entire thing would just fall apart. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: If a toy just doesn't have the attraction factor you expect, we'll gladly help you. Please visit our Returns & Exchanges center for details.)
