Are Magna-Tiles worth it?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I'm trying to come up with a birthday gift for my DS, who will be 3 next month. I have two older boys, 6 and 8, so we already have pretty much every other toy imaginable, including legos, trains, cars, Lincoln Logs, citibloks, regular blocks, etc.

My DS loves trucks, so he is getting two Playmobil trucks from relatives. I don't think he needs additional trucks! LOL

I was thinking the Magna-Tiles would be used by all three of my boys - but maybe we already have too many building toys?! And they are so expensive....

Suggestions?!! Thanks...

Well, for us they have been definitely worth it. One of the most-used objects in the house. DS, 6-1/2, still uses them (and yes, he loves Legos too). Even adults are absolutely fascinated by them.

yes, yes, yes. They are the only toy in our house that gets played with daily.

We love our Magnatiles. DH thought I was insane b/c of the price but now agrees we should buy more. Get the see-through ones--fun to put toys and figures inside. We have most of the building toys and the Magnatiles definitely get the most play, I'd say daily.

100x YES! Everyone loves them. I love them. DH loves them. They are worth every penny .

Yep, totally worth it. My 6 year old received a set when she was 3 and loved them. This past Xmas I got the large set for the 6 and new 3 year old and it's constantly played with. I suggest getting the larger set. It is expensive, but then there are more pieces to share.

Yes- get as many pieces as you can afford. They are definately the most popular toy in the house.

Yes. And I recommend the large set (the transparent ones)
