Apluses Magnetic Building Block

Got these when my son was 1 he still loves them at 3, very good for solo play. We have purchased more just to add to his collection!

Love these magnetic blocks. They are great for kids, teenagers, and adults alike. I plan to use them for group activities in speech therapy sessions and I imagine my students (pre-k and elementary) loving to build with them! They are easy to use, lightweight but sturdy, and have fun colors. Recommend!

A great creative and educational toy for children of all ages. The different shapes, sizes and colors stimulate the brain. The magnets work in so many ways - sticking the pieces together as well as to other magnetic materials.

Great for ALL ages!! I bought this for my classroom next year and my 14 yo daughter has enjoyed playing with them! I bought them after seeing the recommendation and use from The Mulberry Preschool in NYC. They seem of good quality but only time will tell.

I got 1 set a couple years ago when my now 3yo was roughly 1 so she could play with these on the fridge while I worked in the kitchen. 3yo now has a 1 year old sister and they were fighting over the blocks so I recently purchased a bit more. I was going to give this 5 stars but I saw the pictures clearly showing the broken blocks. One pic from a nervous showed 9 magnets and that parent has the right to be nervous. I recommend anyone with small children who use these anyway to break open one block after the kids are in bed and do a count of all the magnets inside. Write that count down in a place these blocks are kept when they're put away. I'm waiting until one breaks before I do this. The packaging clearly says 3+ and I remember the advertisement before purchasing said the same thing. To the company that makes these blocks: Please take notice of the Number Blocks series. If you copy them exactly, please pay the royalties for copyright and do it the right way. As a minimum, please consider creating a set where each color has 10 blocks and include a 10th color the shade of 7's head. I purchased a lightly colored set of your blocks so I could use purple to recreate 7 accurately. I'm using these blocks and the number block series to teach math. My 3yo is already catching on to the concept + and - 1 of any number because 9 seases out 1 block and turns to 8. Today, I'm using our old set (some lost blocks) in combination with 2 new sets to show her what 100 blocks looks like. The new storage bags are cheaper and lesser quality than the velvet bag I got a couple years ago. I wish they didn't change them but understand that it cuts costs down. I recommend not including a bag at all and lowering the price by a dollar. Edit: I found work book pages in the book that's included with the blocks. Great practice for older kids.
