### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect holiday gift for girls and boys
*by H***V on November 8, 2020*

Who doesn't love magnets? That's a rhetorical question. These magnets are colorful and the perfect size for all hands. Not the wimpy magnet strength you find in some toys. These have a nice attraction and work well in creating shapes. They are one of those fantastic educational toys that aren't boring. I enjoy playing with them as much as the grandkids do. My only regret is that I haven't purchased a couple more sets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great toy for toddlers!
*by C***P on March 30, 2018*

I got this as a gift for my 1 year old nephew. He loved it!!! I have worked in preschool for a long time and I had seen this product in schools. It is the first time I order it. The packing was excellent, the box came in perfect condition.The quality of the toy is great and seems durable.The pieces of the toy are the perfect size for little hands to hold and manipulate.The magnet is strong enough so that he could easily put them together.Really fun and a great developmental toy for fine motor, eye hand coordination.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Therapeutic fun!
*by S***Y on May 20, 2015*

I love these! I use them in my pediatric OT practice. They are a perfect size. It is true that they aren't well-suited to construction, as the magnets (while strong enough to hold any 2 pieces together very well) aren't strong enough to hold up to the weight of multiple pieces. This does not decrease the value of them for me, as I find the cylindrical pieces to be the perfect size to promote a good grasp pattern - particularly for a hand with increased tone. I can disperse the balls on the floor and motivate a child to hold a rod and reach with it to pick up the balls from sit, all fours, from tall kneel, prone over a ball, etc. Separating the pieces is a great bilateral task, and the pieces can be sorted by color!
