Guidecraft 72-pc. Magneatos Construction Set

Product Description

3 years & up. Children can create structures, build on imagination skills and experience the fun and mystery of magnetic construction. These jumbo sized pieces are magnetized and connect together easily. Designed for small hands and huge imaginations. Includes 72 pieces.

We bought this as a birthday present for our 2-year old. She loved it and was a great toy for all three of my girls to play with! I didn't want to buy the Magnetix because they were so small. This is a great option since I don't have to worry about my little one swallowing the pieces. My husband really enjoys building things with this as well!


The Magneatos caught my attention because I have an original set with the small pieces. The small set is not practical for toddlers and infants. This allows kids to be creative while learning colors and shapes. The 3 year old I bought it for loved it! It was the gift that distracted him from opening all his presents at Christmas!


I can't brag enough about these. My 21 mo old son plays with them all the time. He hasn't quite gotten into the creating different things with them yet but he loves the magnetic pull they have and is reconnecting them constantly. They are fairly lightweight despite having magnets in them.

I would recommend getting more than one set though. We have 2 sets and a third might be a little better to do more things with them.


I got these for 2 of my nephews and both absolutely love building things with them. Great toy!


There is nothing really to this toy to get started. I bought it for my niece and one for a nephew. They both liked it and it was simple enough that they could pick it up and start using fast. I thought and others thought it was a great toy!


My two older children (4 & 5), had a mini version of this that was too much of a choking hazard for my 10mth old. We got rid of it and bought this one which is wonderful. The parts are just the right size for all the them to grip and play with. They all have fun creating new structures. You can easily add an aditional set for double the fun. We may do that soon. This toy is different, fun, safe, and educational. It doesn't have to sing the alphabet to be educational, just good old creative play!


My children received this product for Christmas. Both the 5 year old and the 20 month old love to play with it. Large, durable pieces are perfect for the 20 month old's hands and the pieces are so large that I do not have to worry about choking.
Can't wait to get the curved pieces to add to our collection and give us more building options!


My two, four, and six year old use this toy on a daily basis. Other than art supplies and kitchen food, these are the only toys that are never out of our play rotation. They have built towers as tall as themselves (with a little help from their engineer-minded uncle), and now they can build fairly intricate constructions on their own using the tips they learned from adults.

The list of things they have made is pretty amazing: microphones, obstacle courses, magic wands, buildings, moats, towers, shapes, etc. They experiment to see how many sticks they can put together before they break apart, how many levels they can go up before it collapses. I can't think of a more durable, educational toy that we have purchased.

The size is large enough that my one year old nephew can safely play with no risk of ingestion. The magnets are sealed completely inside the balls and encased behind plastic rings in the sticks. This is a toy that will last for years and will encourage open-ended play limited only by your child's imagination.

Some other pluses: 1) the pieces are too big to sucked up a vacuum cleaner hose, so when they inevitably roll under the couch, you don't have to worry about clogging your vacuum hose, 2) the colors are unisex and 3) the sticks will stick to any magnetic surface -- you should see some of the interesting sculptures I've found on my frig.

All in all, a fantastic lo-fi toy that has lasted for years of heavy duty use in our house.


I bought this for my 2 year old nephew and he loves it. He enjoys making "snakes" on the floor with them. He's very smart for his age. I assume that he will soon want something he can build something with rather than just get to stick together, but it's great at his current age.


I would have to say I'm a little disappointed. I expected them to stick together a little better for building. They aren't the strongest attaching magnets. My son basically just throws the balls around now.
