Best playmags 100 piece set accessories (151) in review

These are amazing. This is a toy for grown ups and kids alike. I love the strength of the magnets. They are super duper strong. Hard to pry them apart at first so their longevity is sealed. These are a great brand alternative to the magnatiles but they do work with them. So if you wanted to mix it up with a new brand these should work seamlessly with the rest of the magnetic blocks you've already accumulated. My sons are big builders and love trains. I love the add on they made. The blocks can be kind of heavy and topple themselves over but that's okay. Teaches spacial and structural ideas in a fun way. Love the windows and shapes. This is a really well crafted and well thought out toy to give kids, and it is one of those gifts that you just know will be a hit no matter what. Colors are beautiful. Completely recommend.

We bought different brands and the only ones worth mentioning is playmags and magnatiles. So for xmas we bought 118 piece set playmags for $70, and a 100 piece set magnatiles for $120. Online store prime. Also the magnatiles ice set. In picture orange is playmags the other 2 are magnatiles. You can see playmags have a magnet that is longer and thicker than magnatiles. Playmags have a stronger connection than magnatiles. Granted both will last a long time. I will be buying playmags from now on.

Love the magnetic blocks idea. My kids (4, 6, 8) all love them and play with them daily. Literally. Name me one other toy that the kids (for weeks on end, mind you) play with daily that doesn't require batteries. . That being said, i do like other brands better. I have the picassa tiles, so i am comparing to those. Here are my thoughts:. . 1. The magnets are not as strong. You can still build great stuff with these, but it helps immensely to have the picassa tiles mixed in so the structure is more sturdy. Some of the things you can build with the picassa tiles you cannot build with these because they do not "stick" as well. . 2. These do have polarized magnets. I'm not sure how the picassa tiles do it, but you can actually stick the pieces together every way you try. These you cannot. . 3. The colors are the same (or very nearly the same) as the picassa tiles. . 4. The addition of the car is great! so many more options. . 5. These have rivets in the corners, which the picassa tiles don't have. That being said, we've had the picassa tiles for almost 3 months and haven't seen any damage. We play with them on carpet and hard wood floors, and one of mine is a little boy so one of his favorite parts is smashing the creations, so we are not easy on the tiles. Both seem equally sturdy. No problems with magnets coming loose or anything. I will try to update if i see anything like that. . Final thoughts. I would definitely get one of the more expensive sets first. This, however, is a great "add-on" set and completely viable, especially for the price.

My son was psyched to get this for his 5th birthday. He loves magnetic tiles and when he got them, they were all he would play with. He also really loves the car magnet block part, sadly it only came with one so i will have to buy him more of those. I actually bought him picasso tiles before this set and they are compatible with each other. My son also loves the window tiles. He likes to build towers so this is perfect for him. My son has smashed his buildings down and kicked them over and stomped on them. They seem to be holding up well, but i am trying to keep him from stomping on them just to be safe.

My kindergarten class really enjoys these. They are challenged by the playmags, as there are many ways to build with them. They are also very easy to collect for putting away. These are popular with 5 year olds.

We love these blocks. I'm not sure who likes them more, me or my three year old. The magnets are strong enough to build decent sized structures. If you get the magnetic building board, you can make things even taller (3 feet tall so far). The small rectangles are a little challenging because it is more difficult to get the magnetic poles aligned, but they make good sidewalks. The magnets in the cars are not very strong, so the vehicles tend to fall apart easily. The only other real negative i can think of is that i wish there were more triangles in the set.

We received these as a gift for christmas, so have had them about 6 months. My 3 year old, at that time, played with them for almost 2 hours with different family members sitting with him but not necessarily helping him. He loved that he could "build" like his older brother. He of course gets frustrated when he knocks it down or doesn't have enough hands to hold a few pieces up at the same time to add onto them, but overall he's loved these since day one and continues to play with them almost on a weekly basis. My 6 year old son also enjoys them and gets pretty creative building forts for his army guys or legos. The only problem we have, is fighting over the tiles between brothers. I should mention that this set only comes with one car or train car, as it was/and still is something that causes trouble or difficulty sharing between two boys almost every time we take them out to play. After seeing how much my kids love these i'd love to add on another car/train piece and some fence pieces. I wouldn't hesitate to spend the money for a toy that will last and allow children of all different ages the ability to "build. "

This is the first thing my granddaughter ask for every times she comes to the house. You can see her imagination going to work every time she plays with them!

Ordered these after waiting for the past year for a discount/price cut on magna tiles! when i realized that wasn't gonna happen, i stared looking for alternates and found play mags! the reviews and the photos convinced me to take the leap! my 3. 5 year old son has had them for a week now and is in love! sits there playing with them on his own for ages! love how sturdy they are and so easy to put together! may order additional pieces as we go along so my son can expand his building dreams!

Now that my granddaughters have had adequate time to use, i am thrilled that they both find these magnetic blocks engaging. The girls are 7 years apart. I would recommend them for ages two and up. The entire family enjoys the play.

These are sooooo awesome! great quality and came with plenty of pieces to build endless things :) my only wish was that there were more letters (they are double sided, so some words you can't spell) but otherwise this is a great buy! i'd have no problem buying more letters!

I bought this set for my 2. 5 year old son for christmas, along with the 3 piece car/train set. I am so happy with this purchase! you get a lot of pieces for the money, compared to other brands, and the quality is excellent. These will give us years of creative play. I will probably add more pieces for his next birthday or christmas because we love them so much, but if you just purchase this set, it alone is enough. I do recommend adding on the cars, they really add to the imaginative play.
