Xekel120PCS Magnetic Building Blocks, Magnetic Tiles 3D Kids Toys Sets, Building Construction Educational STEM Toys for 3+ Year Old Boys and Girls Christmas Birthday Gifts

I have a bit of an obsession with magnetic blocks tiles because my kids absolutely love them, and I think they are a great creative toy - so we have several sets. We have two of the sets from this listing. This brand has some nicer tiles of the ones we've seen - the pieces don't feel flimsy, and the magnets are pretty strong. Not to mention, these look super unique. A castle made out of either set of these tiles looks really cool. Keep in mind that the number of pieces these include is also counting the pieces that snap into the frames of some of the pieces, so it may be as many actual tiles as you initially think. But they are both still pretty big sets. I'm sure I love the idea of these colors - I think more generic rainbow tiles are actually better and fit a broader audience, but some people may like them. And if you already have a set, you won't even notice that these are that way. That being said, either of these would would actually be a great starter set (as long as you're okay with these colors) because they have a variety of different pieces. After this I would invest in one more set with more and more unique pieces, and you'd have yourself set up to make some really cool builds. Also, I should note that both of these come with a nice bag.

First off, I love building kids toys and this set has a very nice set of shapes. It has enough squares, windows and rectangles to make some cute little houses and 3 different types of triangle that can be a tower or roof. They seem very sturdy and like they will hold up for a long time. It is a set of 120, so enough to build a house or a castle. My kids have also made some creative shapes with them because of all the triangles.My middle schooler, still had fun playing with these even though she is not in the normal age range for this toy. We use it as a fidget toy during homeschool lessons and I plan to use them to demonstrate some physics activities this year. I think they will be great for that.The magnetic tiles collapsed several times while my older child was playing with them. They were able to assemble them, but they had to plan carefully and sometimes the walls of a 4 sided box would just fold. I think they are a little more likely to fold over in some instances because they are heavier due to being solid. It makes them more durable and creates different play opportunities, but the heavier walls can be harder to stand up. If your child has a low frustration tolerance, this set might not be a good fit for them. On the other hand, they do encourage 3-D thinking, and planning, which are good things to teach.In general, I would rate these for ages 5 and up, because they are as easy to build with as they look, but are a really good toy.

Never a dull day " daddy look what I have made"My boy is enthralled by them and there are plenty of piece to occupy a few children easy to put together. Great fun and robust plastic no breakages yet

The quantity of the plastic and the strength of the magnets are impressive. As a teacher and my daughter an Occupational Therapist we would purchase this again. Hours of fun for young and old. Huge variety of shapes and colours - so MANY more bricks than the original and 2 wheel bases encourage playing together with a friend.

These Xekel magnetic tiles allow the imagination to just explode! My ony pleasure with them is that they seem to be bigger sets then my childrens imagination! I got these to stay at grandma's house and another set that look a bit more like mine craft - traditional. Then, when I saw a set come across that looked like these were a little bigger for smaller hands I picked those up as well. All of these blocks have been a HUGE success! Everyone love to play with them. I leave them out on my coffee table in nice little open containers and it is just too much for most people to resist. They just reach in and grab a few and before you know it there is a building of some sort - and usually a child or two, at the table helping with the creation.I think they are wonderful! I am going to set a few more sets because they are wonderful manipulatives for when you are talking to the children or one of them really needs advice from grandma. As a therapist., these kinds of manipulatives are perfect for people with ADHD and other sensory processing difficulties. Then a person is fidgeting with tis type of item, it makes it a lot easy easier for them to focus their thoughts into another area where they are needing to do emotional work.These blocks open a world of possibilities, expand creativity, , help with communication and family bonding time and so many other positive things! This is the perfect type of interactive play that we need to encourage in our children!

Excellent product, my son loved playing with these for hours. Building and using his imagination, brilliant value for money.
