Love these tiles November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I saw these tiles at my son's pre-school. My son loved them and I also found them to be addictively fun to play with. We don't buy tons of toys for our kids, but this one I thought: they will use these and will like them for a long time. So we bought them and we leave them out. They are fun to just fiddle with as you talk on the phone, and the kids are always using them to build structures, roads for cars, or just for making designs with. The one small drawback to them is that you cannot step on them or they will crack, thus my 4-star rating for durability.

We first played with Magna-Tiles on trip up to Portland Oregon. We took our boys to the Children's museum, and noticed a rather large group of kids standing around a table. They were waiting their turn to play with the Magna-Tiles. We got to test them out for a few minutes, but my boys just loved them. We got them for our youngest's 4th birthday and he hasn't stopped playing with them. Both boys use their imaginations to make castles, parking garages, and all sorts of cool things! It's now the one toy that all children visiting our home want to play with! We're thinking of adding another 100 pc set to our home!
Magna Tiles are great October 18, 2008
My son played with these in pre school and it was a must have for home. I keeps him busy building all sort of things. He loves his magna tiles.
This Toy is a Keeper! October 14, 2008

I bought a 48 pc. set for my 3 year old five years ago. Since then we have purchased two more sets. My 8 year old still plays with them. At first, my children weren't sure how to use them, but I sat down to show them some basics and within five minutes they were busy building. The longer they have had them, the more things they learn to make with them. My 8 year old girl enjoys making shapes and all sorts of different objects. My 6 year old neice loves to build "houses" for her animals. My 5 year old son makes ramps, roadways and garages for his cars. All three of them do all sorts of other things with them; those are just some of their favorites --to give you an idea of the varied possibilities. Our 10 year old neighbor loves to play with them as well. This toy spans a large age group.
Magnatiles are very safe. I also have a smaller child, and I am not worried if any of the pieces get left out; they are too big to swallow and there are no sharp or unsafe pieces. Children love to build things and Magnatiles are an easy beginning for even the youngest builder. The magnets are strong enough to cling together well even if you get "close enough". I have had my tiles for five years, and I have never had one to break. They seem to be a sturdy, reliable, fun, educational toy.
I plan to keep mine even after my children out grow them. They are a great toy to have around for children of our guests. Since you can't just run down to Wal-Mart to buy this toy no one else I know has them, so when visitors come over they enjoy playing with this "new" toy. I recommend the clear ones; the children like to see the animals and cars that they have put inside. I also recommend the biggest set (110 pcs) because it is the best value, plus your children will be able to build bigger and better with more pieces. We started with a 48 pc. set and it was big enough for our young ones to build and play with. As they grew, so did their desire for more tiles to make more things!
As a note: I can never find these used on ebay, so people must not be getting rid of them! They love them, too, I guess.
Great for All Ages October 6, 2008
We ordered this along with some similar items to create a "game table" at a big formal family event. We asked the caterers to set it up in the banquet room, as an extra table, which we called "Game Zone," and it turned out to be a fantastic idea. Little kids, medium kids, big kids and adults all enjoyed it, and because the tiles themselves are sleek and geometric, the beautiful sculptures created only added to the look of our event. Plus, no balls to drop and roll around. A great toy and I recommend this idea for weddings, bar mitzvahs, family reunions, etc.
