There are virtually hours of designs that can be created with the Magna-Tiles. Not only is this play fun, but educational, and allows for both guided/supervised activity as well as general exploration.
Working with the Magna-Tiles also helps children explore shape recognition, and patterns while building motor skills. The ability to work with the colorful tiles on both flat surfaces and in 3-D allows even more imaginative play.
Magna-Tiles are also perfect for single or multi-child activity.
Pros:
A game that is both fun and educational is an obvious win. Magna-Tiles allows for both a child’s creativity in design as well as learning about geometrical shapes, and how they fit together.
The design is also durable, making them perfect for children. Magna-Tiles are also easy to clean and store; the fact that they are flat and magnetic makes them easy to stack, so they don’t take up much space.
The magnets are also safe for young children, as they’re completely encased in plastic and can’t come out. All of these facts make Magna-Tiles a great investment, and it’s a durable game that will provide educational stimulation to any child.
Cons:
The biggest con is perhaps the price; this game is definitely an investment, and possibly a worthy investment as children can be grown into this game. At times, the magnets are not as strong as we might like, making some of the 3-D designs virtually unattainable.
But, if you can get around the price, and the fact that the magnets are at times a little weaker than expected, this product is extremely successful and delivers exactly what it advertises.
