PicassoTiles Marbles for Marble Run Magnetic Tiles – 8PCS STEM Building Blocks Balls Toy For Kids 3+, Multicolor

Magnetic tiles add an interesting tweak to typical building toys. Kids are fascinated watching the magnetic marble go through its paces. I love this because it is so open-ended. Kids are in charge of the build, and learn by doing. I purchased 2 of these, so that a larger run could be achieved.

The tube pieces are a thin plastic, when taking them apart it feels like they are going to break-they haven't though. A good value for what we paid, we got them on sale.

I expected these tiles to be fully magnetic. However the tubes click into little holes. My 3 year old has a hard time assembling and dissembling on his own

my children love these. It is kind of hard to pull apart if you use two of the runs to make a tunnel but all in all, they snap together pretty easily and provide hours of entertainment

My children are used to the other very popular brand of these magnets but I decided to try this set for my son's birthday, since the price was lower. Well, he noticed the difference right away. He tried building and became frustrated because the pieces didn't function as seamless as the other brand. He was really trying but they felt like they'd break. I felt the myself and understood exactly what he meant. We really wanted to like them but they just didn't work out over here.

These are really hard to put together and take apart. When I think of Magna-Tiles, I think of something fun and easy that my son can play with independently. This marble run requires someone to constantly snap pieces together or pull them apart, which gets frustrating quickly for everyone.

this was a gift to my nieces who were in the age reign, but assembly was extremely difficult that their parents had to put it together. the item ended up getting returned due to multiple reasons. the age range should be raised.

This should be so much fun but it's more aggravation than it's worth. Everything you begin to build comes crashing down over and over again. You spend all your time rebuilding a small part that you never get close to finishing a build. The magnets are just not working for the concept of the game.

I purchased Picasso as I have other basic Picasso kits that don't have the columns that our grandson wants for building many of the featured pictures in the basic kits. I recently bought the rails and they are just fine for connecting the tiles into ramps, BUT for this “Marble Run Kit”… My husband's response, “This is a piece of junk. The pieces don't stay together. A kid would have a very hard time assembling it. Send it back.”

This is way too complicated for a young child to put together. I'm an adult and I couldn't figure out how to put it together to do the marble run. Really disappointed with this item.
