Toys and Games Reviews of Magna-Tiles Translucent Colors 100 pieces
Customer Review: The best toy we have so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I told my parents that our daughter really liked to play with these at the Discovery Center, so she got it for Christmas from "Santa" (she was then 19mo). It has been over 6 months since then and she is still playing with these tiles nearly every day! Our Magna-Tiles were "tested" on other kids of different ages (1 to 5 yo) everybody liked playing with them.
None of the tiles broke so far - absolutely no problems in this area.
I first thought not to rate the educational value, but then I thought that it helped her learn better what the triangle and square look like, she now feels well what sorts of tiles she needs to take to build various kinds of houses she is building, she knows how to put the triangles upside down when she is building the roof of a wider building, she knows what kind of triangles (and how) she needs to put together if there is not enough squares to build what she wants... I think she already knew the colors when we got the Magna-Tiles, but the colors (there are 5) are great and they are also being used - to build "all green" room in the house, for example.
Using one's imagination these tiles can be used not only for building houses and castles - the colorful floor looked great; yesterday she put longer triangles in the bucket and said that those are slices of watermelon - the shape is similar to the real ones I cut myself :) ; at one point today I saw that the tiles were used as "chairs" in a "restaurant" :)
I was right when I told my parents that the Tiles have to be of clear color - it is important that she can see the characters in the houses she builds through the walls - see for herself and show the others without having to open anything. Sometimes she also makes a 2x2 square out of 4 squares and looks through it to notice "the world becoming a different color".
Even though there is a 100 pieces, I still consider them as easy to clean up, because they stick to each other and it is very easy to build up a pile and put it back in the box.
We never had any big squares at home, so we did not miss them :).
Great toy!
--------
Update: it now has been 18 months since we got the first set - she still plays with it almost every day and we got a second 100-set for her 3rd Birthday. This was probably a set #6 that we bought - we were buying some for our friends. Some people who played with the tiles at our house bought them too :)
none of our tiles are lost or broken. the second set we got had the 4 large squares.
