Bendon TS Shure Create Funny Faces Magnetic Activity Tin with Illustrated Magnet Sheets and Playcard 50261

My 8 and 12 year olds had the best time trying to find license plates for each state! We drove eleven hours down I-95 and were able to find 38 different states, including DC. They were so excited when we saw one from Alaska. :o) It really made time fly by for all of us. It’s impossible to place the license plate magnets on their corresponding states on the map, so we got creative with putting plates that we found in a baggie and eventually were able to separate “found” plates on one side of the tin and the remaining on the other. I don’t recommend separating them like this from the get-go because the magnets sometimes fall when you close and reopen the tin and it can get confusing. But to each their own! All in all, this was a great find and I would have happily paid more for it. It was also nice to take a break from the alphabet game.

We played the license plate game as children, although we never had any way to keep track without writing them down. My siblings and I took a trip to go visit our mother and it was fun to play the game again like we did 50 years ago! The only complaint I have is that the map of the United States is not big enough to fit all the license plates on as you are finding them. The container either needs to be bigger or the license plates need to be smaller. However, that would not stop me from buying this. I would buy it again any day! The magnetic part of it is great for keeping the found states in order. We were able to close the box and open it again when we got back in the car and the license plates were still where we left them. So fun!!

We love looking for license plates and I swear I’ve bought all the different books and games on the subject and this one is the best!Pros: It opens like a book so it’s easy to use but when we’re done in the car, we can close it and slide it in the seat pocket in front of us.The magnets are awesome because all the pieces stay inside.The license plates are true to their state so they’re easy to identify.Cons: my only complaint is that I wish there was more space on the outside of the map to put the plates that you’re still searching for. (We place the plate in Texas when we find Texas, etc). So we actually put a little ziploc inside the book for those plates so they’re not covering up the states while we’re still searching.This is the perfect game for kids and the family and it also makes a great birthday gift. Highly recommend this one if you’re looking for license plates!

It’s a great idea but the magnets are a little big and don’t stay on well. We made it work and it was definitely a fun game to play on a 14 hour car ride

This is the perfect size and portable. My kids, ages 7 & 9, love to play everyone we get in the car. It’s so fun and they’re learning the states and locations. The quality of the tin and magnets seem to be pretty good.

The pieces are really big and don't fit when you try to ppace them on the matching state license plate. My kids got frustrated that the new England states didn't work out well at all. Thay t makes it really hard to keep track of the license plates you see on a trip. There's also no place to put the ones that haven't been matched yet.

Love the size and quality of this travel size toy. Easy & fun for a child to make silly faces keeping them entertained. You can also use it as a puzzle. The magnetic sheets are sturdy enough to keep & put the shapes back in place. Works like a puzzle and keeps the toy neat. You may not do that each time but it helps when pieces get too jumbled.

Good game to have in the car while making your travels!
