(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } My child has had a few different types of these sets over time, and these are one of the better sets you can get.First impression, the box the blocks come in is colourful and actually shows the blocks and building ideas as opposed to just coming inside a generic plan block like some other brands. Next, you get 100 blocks, each of which is printed on each side with different themes giving your child lots of room to allow their imagination grow.The blocks are well made, and the magnets make it easy for your child to snap them together when building. Having 154 of them means they have plenty to play with and they are compatible with many of the other brands of magnetic blocks I have ordered off Bolo.Would make a great gift for any child offering hours of fun.

A set of plastic cubes, each measuring 25mm (2.5cm) across each face - thus larger than many other similar products and thus will not match and work with those others. The cubes are fairly robust and the colourful designs on each seem very durable, well-printed and not just feeble paper decals.The designs on the blocks are suited to construction of rural environments, perhaps a 'home and garden' sort of thing. What you can make with this one set is, obviously, going to be fairly limited, no matter how imaginative you get. Further sets would expand the possibilities, but would be a more appealing prospect if the blocks were a lot cheaper than they are.The blocks attach to each other easily, all faces seemingly able to connect in any way without any magnetic polarity issues. The connection formed is generally reasonably strong, but they can be taken apart again without the slightest effort at all.All in all, a reasonable quality product that you can have some fun with, but expensive, limited in scope and best avoided for children with a tendency to stuff things in their mouths.Be aware that some of the more complex listing images and that on the box front, show a lot more blocks than are in this individual set.

My 6 yo daughter really enjoyed this magnetic block set. There are so many ways to build and rearrange everything — it's like creating your own little underwater world! The magnets are strong enough to hold the pieces well, and the blocks are a perfect size for small hands.I especially liked the extra details like fish and sea plants — they make it much more fun and imaginative. The set comes with a storage bag inside the box, which makes cleanup easy.The quality is great for the price, and I think it would make a lovely gift for younger children. For kids around 3 to 6 years old, it’s very engaging and entertaining. Recommend it.

One of the kids loves the "block" based game these are very similar to, so I thought they'd likely be a hit, what was a bonus was them arriving on her birthday.In the box (which is a design very attractive to kids), are 150 blocks of differing designs, a bag to keep them all in and a "brochure"/leaflet showing various suggested designs. The blocks are in sealed sections, to stop them sliding around in the box and can then be stored in the bag when not in use.The designs on the blocks differ enough that you can made various scenes as per your imagination and what did surprise me is how the blocks seemed to never have a problem staying together. In other magnetic blocks, sometimes younger kids get frustrated when the magnets are mounted one side and they can't get them to stay where they want them, but these go together well in pretty much any orientation. It's not a game if you want to remain completely silent though, as the blocks make a shaking noise (due to movement inside) when shaken.The blocks seem good quality and appear to be a printed smooth plastic, so the designs won't peel and these are pleasant to touch/use, no sharp corners.These were a popular, unexpected addition to birthday evening play for quite a while, even with plenty of other new shiny options on offer and I suspect will provide plenty of entertainment with younger siblings too.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality and well built blocks. Magnetic but not too much and just right.

This set of building blocks is brilliant!They are magnetic and easily join together. Also easy to pull apart and don't need much strength so small children will find this a nice set to use with no difficulty at all.They are light but feel really solid and high quality. All sides of each block has a design such as water, trees, bricks etc and you can follow the included instructions for some design ideas and inspiration.Included in the box is a soft bag to store the blocks. This is a nice addition but they can also remain nicely stored in the box too.

Forest Magnetic Building Blocks Set. 150PCS 1inch Magnetic Blocks Set. Construction Stacking Toy for Kids 3+ Boys & Girls.Overall pleased with this Magnetic Blocks Building Set. Quality looks to be pretty good and up to the job.Ordered this with our 6 year old Grandson in mind. He loves building stuff be it plastic model kits or that other well known block company from Denmark!This kit is a bit different from the norm in the fact that it is made up of 1 inch magnetic blocks. This means construction of models etc is done in a slightly different way, a good thing and a nice change.150 pcs in this set mean there is plenty to be getting on with and only limited to ones imagination. Also nice to see the inclusion of a good quality Pouch / Storage bag.I do think this is fairly expensive for what it is. Currently £39.99 (May 25). However the quality is generally good and the amount of use so far has proved its worth.
