Construction and Blocks Reviews

We've gotten this toy as a present for many of our friend's kids. We love to see them have fun and increase their motor and hand-eye coordination. It is a great feeling to see the look of satisfaction from a child when they build something. This is a great gift and toy, for the child in all of us.

We have Maxi blocks, Legos Primo blocks Mega blocks and Duplo blocks at our home. Maxi blocks are the easiest for my children to manipulate without frustration and still build impresive and creative structures.

I bought 2 of this for 2 3-yr-olds at my son's daycare. They happened to be Bob the Builder fans and really loved this toolset!

Besides being one of my son's favorite toys, I feel great about him playing with it all the time because he is building on his fine motor skills. Also, it is adorable to watch him follow his father around the house when his father fixes things. Cleap up is made easy by the tool box that comes with it - and this toy is holding up unbelivablly well considering how quickly my son's toys normally break!

This is an amazing toy. I actually bought this at the brick-and-morter store, but have bought Supermags through this site and think a comparison would be interesting. I bought a set of Supermags for my son for Christmas when I happened to see it in a toy store. Little did I know what an effect it would have on us. I didn't know about Geomag at the time. We have been playing with the Supermag set for four months now and have bought over 25,000 additional pieces from this site. That's right - 25,000! We are building huge - over 6 feet tall - sculptures with these magnets. But I realized that I should buy some Geomags and compare them. Here is what I found:

-Both sets have the same magnetic strength and identical spheres, but the Geomags are a little longer than the Supermag long pieces.
-The Geomags are wider at the contact point, which doesn't allow as tight angles, but makes them hold their angles better.
-Supermag has two lengths for the magnets, which lets you build a greater variety of shapes, especially organic shapes.
-The panels that come with Geomag let you create squares, diamonds, and pentagons that hold their shape, but they are difficult for my 5 and 7 year-olds to put together.
-The Supermags allow you to build squares and diamonds (but not pentagons) using the other length pieces for braces.
-Because the Supermags are a little shorter, they don't work with the Geomag panels.

My son LOVES this toy. I gave it to him yesterday and he's been playing with it non-stop! It's not only a lot of fun, it's also educational. He's been practicing his colors and his shapes and of course it's great for developing fine motor skills. Plus, it's very durable and I'm sure it will last for many years. (I used to work in a preschool and this would also be a great toy for places like that because it's so sturdy). One nice feature is that the pull string is removeable in case that's a concern for anyone. I know that this toy will grow with him as well. Right now he's having fun building and constructing, but when he's older he can have the challenge of trying to get all the pieces to fit back in the wagon! It's kind of like a puzzle.

I have a hard time getting my son interested in toys and this one is definitely a hit with him! It's a great toy and I would recommend it highly to anyone!

My 2 1/2 year son received this toy from his grandmother. He loves it. He can put it back together himself and is very proud of himself when he does it. The only difficulties we have had is one of the screws came apart and had to be reglued and one of the screws is bent due to a knot in the wood and is difficult to screw in. We have only had the train a few weeks but it is holding up otherwise pretty well to a 2 1/2 and 16 month old.

I have a high school girl and a middle school boy. Hard to believe but they but they actually like playing with these Coolblox. Way to go Coolblox for getting them off the video games from time to time.

This is a wonderful item. I got it to use with my preschool class when we study community helpers. It does have tiny parts which can get lost. I have never had trouble with the pieces breaking just getting lost. Even though they are small the children LOVE them and they do help with fine motor skills.

We received this toy for Christmas and our 1-year-old loves it! He hasn't yet mastered putting the blocks in order, but when we put it together for him, he laughs with delight. He picks up the blocks, chews on them, etc. and we have had zero problems.

Older kids (and - funniest of all - adults!) who play with it adore this toy. A great buy - who can beat under $10 for a classic wooden toy with a twist?

We have the Vehicle Sounds version of these blocks - both are very cute and a perfect birthday gift!
