yep, worth it. The cheaper versions are good too.

These are also perfect when we have older kids visiting-- everyone up to age 18 has played with them.

I bought some Magformers on a whim at Homegoods and DD loves them. But it was only a 14-piece set, so I am planning on getting her more for her birthday.

11:23: To add: the kids have had them over a year, so it's not like they're still novel.

My 3 and 5yo play with them every.single.morning. We bought a second set but switched to Picasso. They seem to work just as well and are $50 less.

Yes. They have been played with every single day in our house by our multiple children.
Also...where else would all the little ponies live, if not in rainbow colored cathedrals spread across my family room floor?

My 9 yo still plays with them as does her younger sister. You need the big box like you have to make it work. Getting one small box doesn't cut it.

Don't tell my DC but I've caught DH playing with them on occasion if DC leaves them out (which he sometimes insists on doing if he's built something particularly cool). Seriously just buy them.

Yes. My kids are 6 & 8 and they still play with their magna tiles.

I've learned from experience that my child does not enjoy playing with blocks, legos, etc, even if he will sometimes do so at someone else's house. So I've stopped buying those kinds of toys for him. If your child doesn't normally gravitate towards that kind of building toy, I wouldn't spend the extra money for an expensive set.


My DS has never really been into Legos, but plays with magna tiles tons. I'm actually appreciate them even more because of that - they're really the only toy that sparked that free thought, spacial reasoning side of play for him. He's 5.5 now; his younger sister also plays with them quite a bit at 2.5.
