Strong magnets, hit with all ages
I purchased this kit for home use – I have three boys – and needed something that had enough pieces to occupy them all, while minimizing the fighting over pieces. This kit is great! I was very impressed with the strength of the magnets. We had talked about magnetic properties before getting the kit out, and my nine year old was bragging he could make opposite poles stick together. When we got the magnets out, he was amazed to find these were so strong he could not force them together. (Bonus points for impressing a kid who is sometimes getting too cool for school.) There is a large enough selection of magnets there was no fighting among my three boys as they set out to explore what would stick to the magnets and what wouldn’t. There is a small activity book included, which also gives a brief history of magnets as well as a few ideas to showcase magnetic properties. Please note, a previous reviewer was correct in stating this kit no longer comes with paper clips, but we had some around the house – and they are so cheap – I didn’t hold it against the product in the review. My four year old is currently making faces with the magnetic balls, paper clips, chips and wands – and has requested I get it out for him to play with three times in the last 24 hours. (I have to admit, even I like playing with them!) Bonus – the magnetic properties of the small pieces make it super easy to collect any items that fall on the floor – a quick sweep of the wand and you have all the loose pieces. If it continues to hold everyone’s interest, it will likely be repurchased around Christmas time as a gift for my nieces and nephew.

Great product
As an educator you look for products that are going to last and by the quality in which these products are made, I know they’re going to last. They are colorful and the magnets are quite strong in all but two magnet pieces. Not disappointed at all because the students had a blast using every bit of this kit. Definitely recommend it!

Would buy again. Everything great except bar magnets.
This set has been great for my kids to play with and to use with our homeschool energy science unit. My only complaint is that the bar magnets are really terrible (and they were the tipping point for me to select this item over others because I needed them for a specific experiment) . Like they can barely pick up a paper clip with direct contact; then I tried putting a simple piece of copy paper between the bar magnet and the paper clip and there was no magnetic attraction anymore. Everything else- the balls, wands, discs… are great. So just keep that in mind and you’ll be happy.

This is an awesome set for the price
This is an awesome set for the price. We do not use the whole set as I have children with sensory processing disorder and put everything into their mouths. Truthfully I bought it for the wands and the big horse shoe magnet. The reason I love this product is the fact that for the large wands and horse shoe magnets they can’t get loose. I have no worries about my children accidently swallowing a magnet. The small little balls have proven to be the worst hazard as they do look a LOT like gumballs or candy and they are a little smaller than a dime. So for me I’d probably put the age range a little bit higher and then take into consideration if your child tends to put things in their mouth.We use this product all over the house. The wands and stuff we have brought into the tub to search for magnetic letters, or as we go around looking for what is magnetic around the house or outside. We also use it on our magnadoodle for a different look. This is a terrific magnet set and works for a variety of ages especially with the smaller magnets. They are great magnets!

This is a nice kit but there’s too many wands for the rest. I wish there were as many magnetic horseshoe as there’s wands and more magnetic marbles specially for a classroom. Horseshoe we can buy separately but haven’t found any magnetic marbles sold separately. The wands are really strong magnets. Each kind of magnets have their own strength I guess there’s a reason in science for that! Overall a good and fun to play with.

Una bella scatola per sperimentare con il magnetismo. La qualità è top, a differenza dagli altri kit di magnetismo che duravano meno di un giorno. Resistente e robusto, colori vivaci, il bimbo di 7 anni è rimasto felice. Gli istruzioni sono da leggere da un adulto, ma anche è intuitivo cosa si può fare.

Ich verwende das Magnetspiel mit meinem Kleinkind zu Hause und mit den Kindern in der Schule. Sowohl mein Kind als auch die SchülerInnen sind begeistert!Die Kinder erforschen den Magnetismus und ich baue die Magnetstäbe in viele Unterrichtsspiele ein.Ich bin begeistert!
