PicassoTiles100pc Magnetic Marble Run Set with Racing Track Tiles Funnels Curved Slopes and Steel Balls for Kids STEM Construction Indoor Learning Toy That Promotes Focus and Problem Solving PTG100

We bought the PicassoTiles Marble Run 100 Piece Magnetic Tiles as a present for our 3.5-year-old son—and I have to admit, he’s not the only one enjoying them! Think modern-day Mouse Trap meets magnets. He already had a set of PicassoTiles and loves building, so this was a great extension.I was initially concerned that the marbles might be too small, but they’re actually larger than traditional marbles, which was a relief. I still would make note of this for younger kids who are prone to putting random things in their mouths. The colors of the tiles are vibrant and fun to mix and match, adding to the overall play experience.The included photo inspiration booklet is a great touch. My son and I have had a lot of fun recreating the pictures, and then adding onto them to make new, more complex structures. It’s a great way to spark creativity and problem-solving.The only downside is that the stacking and attachment process can be a bit challenging for a 3.5-year-old. It’s definitely more of a team effort at this age, but that’s also what makes it a great bonding activity. One thing to note: the clear tube pieces are a little fragile—we did break one early on, so it’s worth being careful when assembling or taking things apart.We enjoyed this set so much that we ended up buying another for our soon-to-be 5 year old nephew’s birthday. If your child enjoys building and imaginative play, this set is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Our toddler loves this. Be warned the "marbles" are big enough for the toy but small enough a baby can pop them in their mouth. We had a scare and have been extra careful with the little balls now.2.5+ would not let younger kids or kids who put lots of stuff in their mouth to play with these.They are fun and we also like to play with them with our kiddo.

My boys received a set of the magnets for Christmas and we just added these ball maze pieces and they love them! Definitely a toy they will play with for a long time.

Perfect for 5 years old kids.

Got these for our nephews and they absolutely love them!! Such a fun toy to play with

Such a great toy. It lets my child use his imagination while creating amazing buildings.

Woe to any parent whose young child has asked for marbles from Santa. At 9pm on Christmas Eve, I did what any normal parent was doing then, dragging all my kid’s stuff out of my closet for Santa. The literal only thing my child wanted from the Big Man was marbles. Asked for them daily for like two months. Imagine my surprise when I discovered at that late hour that these marbles were actually plastic balls, and much bigger than normal glass marbles. After some frantic texts to friends, I procured a real marble set at 11pm. Nowhere on the listing did this say “hey dummy, these are bigger than normal”….if it had, I would not have purchased them. Maybe it’s in the fine print or I just can’t read. The product itself seems like it will be fun another day, but I wanted to warn parents out there so you don’t make the same mistake.

Love these! The colors are bright and magnets and connection pieces work well. Strong and durable.
