I love Melissa & Doug toys because they are educational, innovative and lead-free. However, though this toy is great because of the educational aspect and the magnetics, my son and I were disappointed that the shapes don’t align and fit together properly because they have rounded tips. This makes it hard to make the patterns it comes with. If your child would be frustrated because they want it to fit perfectly, then you might consider their other pattern block sets in the wooden box. They have a Beginner one and another one which has more pieces. These have straight lines because they are not magnetic. Here are the links to these two products.

I just got this for my kids, age 4 and 2, and they love it. It is very helpful that they are magnets, they don’t move around as much so the kids don’t get as frustrated. The carrying case is great to keep everything together. We are also starting to homeschool our 4 year old and this is a great math activity as well.

This is an excellent tool for building an understanding of color, shapes, and patterns. There is so much room for learning by using this toy! And best of all, it’s fun! And, for us moms out there, keeping up with it is a breeze. It comes with it’s own vinyl storage case, and who can beat magnetic pieces that stick to the board to ease your child’s frustrations if the pieces don’t “stay” where they are put. The pictures included are really cute – I especially enjoy the duck pattern – and my daughter loves putting them together. All-in-all a really wonderful (and cheap!) investment for hours and hours of fun, stimulating activity! Kudos yet again, Melissa & Doug, for a really great product.

Numbers 10 through 20 are not single pieces – which is different from what’s described above. There are actually 32 individual digits (plus the 5 math signs):

3 pieces of number 0

12 of number 1

3 of number 2

2 of numbers 3-9.

The odd digits are either green or yellow, and even digits are red or blue (Except “1″ pieces which also come in red and blue, apparently to be used for the even teen numbers).

My set seems to have a green 1 that should be yellow to make for a nice color pattern (red, green, blue, yellow) from 0-20. Instead the number 19 has a green 1 and yellow 9.

But it seems somebody thought the color scheme through, so maybe I just got an off set.

We bought these and the wooden letters for our son for xmas at 20 months. He loves them and now knew all his numbers and letters before age two…they continue to hold his interest and he plays with them on the fridge while I cook in the kitchen. Only downfall is he still likes to chew on them now and again and the paper coating is certainly not meant to be sucked on! (our fault, not the company’s!)

It would have been nice to have been informed that these pieces are only a few inches long. I assumed by looking at the photos that these were about twice the size, so I was disappointed. My children only played with them once for a little bit and haven’t touched them ever since.

I bought this for my 10 year old nephew for Christmas and he absolutely loved it! It was the first toy he played with and he is still enjoying it.

I ordered this toy in order that my 7 years old son could improve his imaginagation. I think that this toy succeds in this mission. The only thing that is unfavorable is that it has not enough pieces. you have to order two or more to build sensible objects.

Keeps my ten year old away from video games for some time. It is educational and recreational, what else can we ask for? Some advise: do not get the little balls wet, just in case, because we had another toy with similar metallic balls, which got rusted in a cleaning operation my 6 year old daughter did once.
