Limited Fun

I bought this product for my 5.5 year old son, based on recommendations. However, my 4 year old daughter took to it much more. The packaging promised a complete guide to activities with magnet, but the few that were in there were not very interesting to us or useful in teaching new concepts. It's a good toy for the Pre-K set to keep themselves occupied and entertained for 15-30 minutes. I already anticipate passing it on to other families in the next few months when it is forgotten by my own kids.

Giant Horseshoe magnet kit

I thought this product was great! We used a shallow tupperware container to keep all of the small pieces contained and to allow easy viewing of the attracting/ repelling forces of magnetism. It also allowed for a thin surface to use an "over/under" approach to magnetism. The product was well packaged, and well presented.

The kids had a blast with this. They especially liked the giant horseshoe magnet. I'm hoping that one won't get lost like little ones often do.

The kit is good quality, and came with a lot of fun manipulatives. I have been using it in classroom centers, and the class is very excited and engaged with the materials. The enclosed book was not very useful, but everything else has been wonderful.

wonderful toy. My boy(6 years) is very happy plaing with it. Really gives space for imagination to children. Evokes curiosity of a little explorer.

My 5 year old son absolutely loves it. The instruction manual that comes with it is great. We were able to have some lessons for our homeschool class based on the manual. Even my 2 year old daughter is thoroughly fascinated with it.

Terrific Teaching Tool

I ordered the Giant Horseshore Magnet Kit for our 4 year old and he has been fascinated by it. He's so intrigued by how the magnet operates and what attaches to it. He scours the house testing what else works. Our 2 and a half year old daughter also thinks it's amazing. The activity book is a great addition as well. This was truly a wonderful purchase.

I used this item in my science learning center project for my current "Cognitive and Emotional Development of the Young Child" course. It was a big hit. The adults and teachers enjoyed the learning center and the science behind the magic "magnetic" items as much as the children did. I rate this product an A+. Best regards.

I gave this product to my son for use with a school science project. He and his cousins were very happy playing with the magnet and its accessories. They followed the activity book and liked being able to pick up large amounts of items.

This is a gift for my nephew. My son has a similar set and has really enjoyed it. I liked the selection of items for the kids to choose from and the idea and experiment book is great. The only thing I would change is to make some of the smaller pieces, like the paperclips, bigger. They would be better to handle and less of a choking hazard.

I gave this mgnet kit to my newphew EJ for his fifth birthday and he loved it. He was very entertained and fascinated (me too) with the magnets and the magic quality in how they worked. I recommend this kit for all four and five year olds.

Hard to find (*if not impossible) item locally and was pleased to find your website. This was a Christmas present for my 5 yr. old twins and they just love it! I homeschool so I can see this is going to come in very handy. Very pleased with ease of ordering online with you and speed of delivery. I will most certainly be a repeat customer. Thanks again.
