I purchased this kit for home use - I have three boys - and needed something that had enough pieces to occupy them all, while minimizing the fighting over pieces. This kit is great! I was very impressed with the strength of the magnets. We had talked about magnetic properties before getting the kit out, and my nine year old was bragging he could make opposite poles stick together. When we got the magnets out, he was amazed to find these were so strong he could not force them together. (Bonus points for impressing a kid who is sometimes getting too cool for school.) There is a large enough selection of magnets there was no fighting among my three boys as they set out to explore what would stick to the magnets and what wouldn't. There is a small activity book included, which also gives a brief history of magnets as well as a few ideas to showcase magnetic properties. Please note, a previous reviewer was correct in stating this kit no longer comes with paper clips, but we had some around the house - and they are so cheap - I didn't hold it against the product in the review. My four year old is currently making faces with the magnetic balls, paper clips, chips and wands - and has requested I get it out for him to play with three times in the last 24 hours. (I have to admit, even I like playing with them!) Bonus - the magnetic properties of the small pieces make it super easy to collect any items that fall on the floor - a quick sweep of the wand and you have all the loose pieces. If it continues to hold everyone's interest, it will likely be repurchased around Christmas time as a gift for my nieces and nephew.

Couldn't say enough good about this gift. It's educational and entertaining for my almost 4 year old and I can see he will get value out of this gift for years. Definitely small parts with the magnetic balls and small disks so we have to keep them away from our baby, but big brother gets lots of enjoyment. Contains a variety of magnet sizes, traditional u-shaped, bar, and Horseshoe magnets with lots of magnetic disks and balls to pick up.

I was looking at magnetic wands only originally and then I saw this kit and all of the different magnetic items it came with and decided to try it. So glad I did. I got the wands which are great by themselves and the kids love experimenting with them. The other stuff is a great bonus to get. The disks really got the kids to ask questions during an activity ("but they are plastic, why do they stick?" and the other items are small enough and plenty enough for them to experiment with as well. Since I work with a wide age group (infants to age 5) I put up the smaller pieces and keep the magnetic wants and shoe-horse magnet out to prevent choking hazards.

I bought this kit for my son's "homeschool" preschool. So much fun! I was a little apprehehensive at first, I wanted "real" magnets, not plastic coated magnets. This kit is perfect for preschoolers! It came with a little booklet with information about magnets and a few activities. My son LOVES this kit, and pulls the box off the shelf to ask to play with it EVERY DAY! That's another plus- this kit came in a storage box! THANK YOU! =) I would definitely reccommend this product! One thing to be aware of if you're thinking of purchasing this for smaller ones, the magnetic balls that it comes with look just like colorful gumballs! BE CAREFUL!

One of the horseshoe magnets arrived broken, but we don't even use it. The wand magnets, the magnetic chips and the magnetic marbles make this a fun and educational kit for all ages. The wand magnets are very strong. My kids ages 3-16...including adults...had fun playing with this kit. The horseshoe and bar magnets are really small and easy to break in half with just a little pressure...one of the horseshoe magnets arrived broken before we even opened the package...so that is why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5.

I got this for my kids because I remember loving my magnet kit as a child, it’s amazing how kids are fascinated with magnets. We have given it as a gift too and it’s a crowd pleaser.

Purchased for 5 and 3 year olds. They enjoyed it. Best used with adult guidance and oversight as the discs and balls can easily go missing. Suggest setting out magnet activities on a large tray to contain pieces.

My two year old son loves these magnets. I keep them stored out of his reach and only let him play with them while supervised because the tiny balls are a choking hazard. The plastic casing on the balls comes off easily as well if you try to pry it apart at the seam. We had a dog get ahold of one for not even a second and he got it right off. I super glued it back together. It won't be coming apart again :) I've thought about prying the others apart and adding some glue, but I think I'm just going to wait until there is a problem. I don't think my son's tiny fingers are going to be able to pry them apart. Maybe if he were a little older and stronger... or if he put it in his mouth and used his teeth.

This is a nice kit but there’s too many wands for the rest. I wish there were as many magnetic horseshoe as there’s wands and more magnetic marbles specially for a classroom. Horseshoe we can buy separately but haven’t found any magnetic marbles sold separately. The wands are really strong magnets. Each kind of magnets have their own strength I guess there’s a reason in science for that! Overall a good and fun to play with.

Se lo regalé a mi sobrinito de 8 años que se rompió el brazo en Navidad. Se le olvidó el brazo roto. Estuvo feliz durante la vacación. Tiene dos hermanos, uno más grande y uno más chico y a los tres les encantan todos los imanes. Seguro compraré para mis nietos cuando ya no sean bebés.

Una bella scatola per sperimentare con il magnetismo. La qualità è top, a differenza dagli altri kit di magnetismo che duravano meno di un giorno. Resistente e robusto, colori vivaci, il bimbo di 7 anni è rimasto felice. Gli istruzioni sono da leggere da un adulto, ma anche è intuitivo cosa si può fare.

My son loves this kit, which we bought him for Christmas. It has a variety of magnets, bar magnets, horseshoes, all sorts of things. He also thinks it's cool to pick up the chips and balls with the other magnets, and it's been a great introduction to the concept of attracting and repelling. He likes to make things with them, and we're planning to do the experiment with him where you put iron shavings in sand and have the magnets pull out just the iron. I think he'll really enjoy this. I know it's meant as a classroom toy, but it works well for home use too.

Ich verwende das Magnetspiel mit meinem Kleinkind zu Hause und mit den Kindern in der Schule. Sowohl mein Kind als auch die SchülerInnen sind begeistert! Die Kinder erforschen den Magnetismus und ich baue die Magnetstäbe in viele Unterrichtsspiele ein. Ich bin begeistert!
