Magna Tiles 2300 Solid Colors (Pack of 100)

Santa brought these for my 2.5 year old daughter. On Christmas morning this was not the gift she got most excited about. HOWEVER, once the craziness of Christmas was over most of her other toys were forgotten and this is by FAR her favorite toy. She plays with them every single day!! She builds castles, houses, roads, dance floors for her little princess dolls, it is never ending. They are a little expensive, but now I know they are long lasting and great for creative building....well worth the money. This is a nice big set to build many things, even so, I will be looking at additional sets to get her for her birthday.

I rarely write reviews but this toy really rates the effort. The tiles are appealing to a vast range of age groups and are absolutely indestructable. We've had ours for years and they've taken a beating - the magnets have never come loose, the plastic hasn't so much as dinged or cracked. (I wish I could say the same about my millwork, which was met with a magnatile-tossing tempest one exuberant afternoon.) They are the ONLY magnetic toy I trusted my daughter to play with when she was a baby. We have added to our collection each year and the kids never, ever get tired of them. The possibilities are almost limitless - you can do tesselations or 3-D construction. And since they're so easy to store, these will be one of the few toys we keep around after the kids grow up --to have when we entertain people with young children.

I had never seen this before - I just saw them on amazon a couple weeks ago and decided to purchase them. I received them yesterday and since then my daughter (3 and a half), who is just getting into building stuff, has not stopped playing with it!!! Wonderful toy - very open ended for them to use their creativity and imagination, at whatever level they are. They are also very easy to store. If she keeps playing with these the way she is, I may have to buy more for her to build more sophisticated structures. I have a younger son (9 months) who is also very interested in them, and since these are big, I can let him do that. My only complaint is that I do not understand why these have to be so expensive. If they were cheaper I would be buying these for every kid I know!!

Our son has had these since he was 1 and plays with them daily (he is now 2.5). These are by far his favorite toy. It's been wonderful to see his play evolve into more creative structures and imaginative play. We were initially gifted an off brand set and then later received a smaller Magna Tiles set. The Magna Tiles were superior so we replaced the off brand set with this one and we love them. They are worth the premium.

Have previously purchased a smaller set to have in my home for when grandkids visit. Nice set, just not enough tiles so sprung for this larger, more varied set. All ages can have fun with this building block toy, and the magnetized action allows even the littlest hands to build a stable construction. Highly recommend this well made toy. My daughter brought their big set along on summer vacation, and it was seldom in the box ---- everybody played with it. Admittedly this is a pricey item, but is sturdy and as long as you retrieve all pieces, should provide fun for years. Our grandkids range in age from 16, 13, 7, 6, 3, and they all played with each other, singly and with grandparents. Tons of funs.

A friend recommended the Magna-Tiles to me for my 4yr old son Kurt. They were meant to be his present for the holidays, but he saw the Amazon box arrive, and so got them early. That was a week ago and he hasn't stopped playing with them since. Neither have I, they're addictive! It's fun to watch how the kids evolve from (first 1/2 hour) just creating piles of tiles and sticking the faces together, to discovering the edges stick and building roads/train-tracks, to thinking in 3 dimensions and building structures. My friends' 5 yr old built a geodesic dome with all of the triangle pieces, really. Much better than Lego, because they are more abstract & flexible to build almost ANYTHING. The only thing keeping them from the full five stars is just that they are SOOO expensive. If they we're 1/2 the price I'd buy 3 more sets, and then we could build some really cool structures! Lastly, our family travels a lot in our RV and this toy is perfect for that. It cleans up in about 30 seconds, all the pieces stick together so you don't lose any "bits", and they collapse down to a very small pile so they take up almost no room. I DEFINITELY recommend this toy if you can justify the expense.

I just ordered this block set for the second time, not because they needed to be replaced, but just to have more. I have had a set of about 30 blocks for my young boys for the past 3 years and they have played with them weekly, if not daily. They LOVE these blocks and end up arguing over who gets to play with them. It's difficult when you have 3 boys and only 30 block tiles. I'm hoping this set of 100 tiles will let each boy be able to build what ever their imaginations wants to. Like I said, they have played with these tiles nonstop for 3 years and they have held up great, not one broken tile which I find impressive because they are nor gentle with them by any means. Absolutely fantastic toy and I would highly recommend them to all children, girl, boy, toddler and older kids.

I got in trouble with my husband for buying such an expensive toy but now that we see how much our kids play with it, we are looking into expanding our collection. My kids are 2 and 4 and, I'm not kidding you, spend 4-8 HOURS a day playing with these magna tiles. We've had them for about 5 months and they play with them every single day. They are great for travel. We take them on planes and car rides because they will keep them happy for so long. They are BY FAR the BEST toy my kids have ever played with. Portable, easy to clean up, educational, versatile, and are adaptable to their ages and interests. LOVE them! Cons: Although the magnets are pretty strong (better than any of the imitators), it would be nice if they were a little stronger They are not indistructable. 5 months of rough play from 2 wild little boys have left a few tiny nicks and scratches. But they crash into them and walk on them. But none of them have broken Because they are pricey, I am paranoid to lose any. Magna-tiles only has like 5 basic shapes. It does limit what you are able to do with them. You can buy accessories, like cars, etc in other brands. I'd prefer to buy from Magna-tiles but can't find much selection. Over all, GREAT product!
