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.

Purchased for 5 and 3 year olds. They enjoyed it. Best used with adult guidance and oversight as the discs and balls can easily go missing. Suggest setting out magnet activities on a large tray to contain pieces.

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!

I got this for my kids because I remember loving my magnet kit as a child, it’s amazing how kids are fascinated with magnets. We have given it as a gift too and it’s a crowd pleaser.

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!

Good set. I got this on a lightning deal and I probably wouldn't buy it at full price. I bought it for my 4 and 2 year old and we all like it. We don't really need 6 of the wands and I wish they would have diversified. The wands are the strongest magnets in the box though. The other smaller magnets aren't very strong, though the horseshoe is strong enough. We like the variety of balls and chips. And I love that they provided a nice storage box!! It opens nicely and is sturdy. Everything goes back in with room to spare, so no cramming. So overall a quality product, a bit overpriced, with some really good features and some smaller magnets that need to be stronger to be very useful. I'm glad I bought it (at a lightning deal price).

Great activity to keep my 6 year old entertained.

The kids instantly thought it was fun. Tiny pieces so it needs to be managed unless you don't care about losing pieces.
