Great Toy! [2 OF 5 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
This was my daughter's introduction to building blocks. The magnetized blocks really helped her understand the concept of building at an early age. Somewhere along the way she also figured out how to take the blocks and test different surfaces to see what it would stick to so it's great toy for teaching them to explore and experiment with their surroundings.

Big pieces for little hands [30 OF 62 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
The pieces on this toy are big! Bigger than I thought they would be. The magnets are perfect - easy for my son to pull apart. A great find.

magnets too weak [104 OF 194 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
While this toy is well made and beautifully painted (love the glossy finish), I found that the magnets used are too weak to make this a great toy. Not only do the cars separate when you pull them with any significant force, but the blocks that comprise the train also pull free too easily, making it very difficult for you to grab the train and try to pull it along. I also feel that 2 cars is not enough for a good train (3 cars are a minimum). And while the magnets in the blocks are supposed to make stacking easier, that is only true if the magnets are oriented correctly- they can just as easily repel, or if the block (or train car) is flipped the wrong way neither attract nor repel. That said, my son still enjoys playing with the individual pieces, he just doesn't play with them as a train. I would recommend Haba's Lokmock train over this one.
