GeomagMagicube Math Building Recycled Clips, 256, White

The media could not be loaded.  We have had Magicubes before and our 4 year old son really likes them, they have been expensive when we have ordered them in the past but I have forgiven them as the quality and playability of the blocks have outweighed the cost.This offering however still has the very high price tag, £37 for 10 blocks! but it also has some very substandard magnetic numbers which are akin to very cheap fridge magnets. Some of them delaminated the cardboard from the magnetic core whilst I was taking them out of the perforated sheets that they came in, and they bend very easily and once creased don't really stick to the blocks any more.I feel that after not very long being played with by preschool aged children they are going to get creased and not stick onto the blocks any more.A nice concept from Magicube but a fail in execution in my opinion in relation to the numbers. The cubes are still great but that's only part of this offering.Any way I have done a review video which will hopefully give you an idea of what I mean, I hope you find it useful.

I received this item from the Amazon Vine Program.The Magicube Math Building Recycled Clips contains 10 Magicube magnetic cubes and 45 clips.The cubes are meant to be educational & fun. It’s great for practicing math/ numbers and also motor skills.Unfortunately, quality is not good and actually looks cheap and flimsy.It is sold for £37.00 at the time of this review which is expensive for the quality of the product.

This set is really good idea love it but there are not enough coubs and the clips are not that strong because most of the time they slip.For they price they have I was expecting a bit more as very overpriced at £37 .They came nicely packed though would be nice gift but that's it ,personally wouldn't buy again because of price.

In our house we are massive massive fans of the magicube series of toys from Geotag. As you would expect we were really keen and eager to try this out and thought that the addition of the magnetic clip on is what enhance what is already a fantastic product. Really unusually, we discovered that the additional clip on is that attach to the blocks just really aren't very good quality. Only just about stay in place on the Magna blocks and the frontage of some of them is easy to start separating from the back plate, which isn't ideal. The main magna blocks are just a normal colour blocks as you would expect so will fit right in with all the other magna blocks that you have but you're obviously playing quite a privilege for the additional bits which really aren't up to much. With 16 magic blocks on their own currently on Amazon at £26 it doesn't make this particularly good value unfortunately.

Quite engaging and educational. Keeps kids away from screen and help learning math as well

Geomag make some great interactive puzzle based build toys and creative build toys and this is fine for what it is and does as intended and is quite engaging when played with alongside your little one but it's overpriced for what is in the box, which is due to the brand name I guess as they are quite popular with the larger and more costs effective sets that are more in the free-play creative side of their toys rather than educational aspects ones like this. Is good, but just too expensive for what it is.

I was full of high expectations from this set as it comes from a known brand and could have huge potential. The external box is also very promising, looking educational, inviting yet professional.Imagine my shock when I opened the box and saw that it was filled with a huge cardboard frame holding so few blocks and magnets. This could have easily been put in a box a third of the size but then who would pay £37 for that?You only get 10 blocks which severely limits the use and the benefit of being magnetic. Most children can stack that many blocks without them falling. The magnets come in a 3x3 grid which you need to pop them out of. Many of the paper coverings ripped when doing this which makes me doubt their longevity.I tested these with one of my younger students and he commented “I don’t see the point in the numbers, they fall off anyway. The blocks are fun but MagnaTiles are better.”I think this toy has a lot of potential but a lot more thought needs to be put into it.

I can't figure out why this is so expensive considering how little is actually in the gigantic box.The concept is great and the benefit to learning outweighs how much it costs but I couldn't justify buying this again, the blocks are simple and click together well with the magnets but you only get 10 so the learning is limited and the quality of the magnetic numbers is poor, with several ripping just from taking them off of the sheets.I can appreciate the bright colours and they are very attractive for kids and found that mine did play with them for a short while, but it didn't take long for the attention span to wear off and move onto something different as these didn't seem to provide any real stimulation other then a quick count of the numbers and stacking the blocks because of the sound they make when the magnets click together.Really not good value for money, you'd be much better with another brand and it'd most likely be less expensive too.
