PIXIO Mini Magnetic Blocks Building Toy in The Pixel Art Style with Free App – 5/16" Magnetic Cubes Construction Set – Open Ended Creativity Toy for Kids – 100PCS Ages 6+

I got these for my 8yo who is a master builder when it comes to all things lego and blocks. He loved this set. Played with it for hours, making all kinds of things. This has been a great addition to our building block collection. These are tiny little blocks and definitely NOT for young children. That being said, because they are so teeny tiny, I think the price point it too high. I would like to add a ton more of these to our educational arsenal, but not at this cost. I would, however, recommend these for budding builders. The magnets are strong and they hold up really well and the colors are great.

These magnetic cubes are great. The children/youth I work with have all enjoyed using them and following the included patterns/builds from the booklet. They can be somewhat challenging due to having to align positive and negative sides of the magnets. Some children get very frustrated and try to give up, but it is great practice for persisting through challenging tasks. The 8 year olds love it as much as the 18 year olds. The cubes are quite small so supervise younger children. The price is also quite steep - I got the 100 piece and wish there were more included for the price.

just gave these to my grandsons they tend to break a lot of toys. They seem very durable. I’ll let you know what happens. I like the fact that these don’t have specific pictures on them like some other sets too leave it as more of an open ended play that way the boys really enjoyed them.

Due to the characteristics of magnets and miniaturization, it is difficult to find the joining surfaces. It is very difficult to start over from the part in the middle of assembly. The size is very good. However, the price is too high for the number of pieces, and it is difficult to be creative. The concept is really excellent because it can be thought of in 3D. The size is just right and the magnetic force is just right to make it easy to assemble. If it can be improved so that it can be joined on any surface, it can create models more quickly than a 3D printer in product development. It would be a great product for children to be able to create a world in a simplified Minecraft level.

I have 2 grandsons that fell in love with these when we received them. I was looking for age appropriate reward prizes in homeschool. My grandsons are 9 and 14, so I needed something age appropriate for the age span. They are teeny pieces and it wasn't a.prpject they could get done quickly. They have to follow written directions. It has a tiny base to fit the Legos on. They do fall apart easily bmso yiu have to be very careful which is narrative eye-hand coordination schooling also. It was worth the cost.

If it came with a box and key chain or something to carry it with, without losing pieces it would have more utilitarian value. Cute though. Expensive.

For the price, it was dissapointing. Some of the blocks were glued together. When they are supposed to be individual blocks.

This is one of the most interesting startups I have seen recently. It is pretty hard to come up with something truly new in such a competitive market and time. These guys did it well - they offer you a great construction set that is good for kids on its own. But they go beyond that, taking it all to digital space. The app they provide with the set contains hundreds of different things one can do with the set - from animals to complex architecture. Possible projects provide visual 3D instructions on how to assemble them, and they are sorted by the number of bricks required to build it. I have bought this tiny set to experiment and I will definitely buy a larger one.
