My kids play with these all the time and build very creative things. My younger kids and my teenagers play with them alike.

For adults tooJan 30, 2011
By J. Koelman
Ok, so I (male adult, 40+) bought this Geomag set with the idea to play with it one or two evenings, and give to my nephew. No way that is going to happen. I have to buy a new set for m nephew, and I am tempted to buy a second set for myself along with it. This is so much fun to experiment with. the set arrived yesterday, and I have played with it just one evening. Like anyone else, you start with a tetrahedron, then built other Platonic solids such as an icosahedron, to end up with a buckyball. It is wonderful to experience a feeble structure snap together in a stiff structure with a beautiful geometric structure. You can do much more than building such well-known structures. Simple geometric shapes I didn't know even existed emerge naturally. I just wish this would have existed when I was a kid. My advise: don't buy a small set, you inevitably end up upgrading. To give you an idea: this largest set with 120 magnet bars is just enough to build a Buckyball (90 edges) and an icosahedron (30 edges). have fun!

Great creative toyDec 01, 2010
By Sanybelle
I gave this to my two grandsons as a birthday gift recently. They are three and five years old. They both love to create and build, so their mother suggested this toy, as they are always playing with a set like this at their pre-school when she picks them up. I am ordering panels to go along with the set for Christmas. I would highly recommend buying as large a set as possible, as they sometimes want to admire their creation for awhile as they create something else. Also, a larger set is better when two children are using it at the same time.

Great toy for my kidJan 09, 2011

This was an excellent toy choice for my 6 y.o. son. He often spends over an hour building structures with this. To put this in perspective even the most flashy of entertainment loses his interest after 30 minutes. I've also discovered that this is an effective way to help my son relax before before sleep at night. After 30 minutes of building with this set he seems much more ready to sleep.
Product quality and durability, a concern with a boy, is great.
This is a fun toy and I often build alongside my son. There are enough parts for two to create separately or collaborate. Honestly this is so much fun that I've been known to wait until my son goes to sleep then continue my building. When I'm outed for doing this I use my right as a dad to respond "Hey, who said life was fair."
