Summary: The nature of magnets make this toy difficult
Comment: At first one might think that magnets would make wooden blocks easier to use. However, I find the opposite to be true. The age recommendation is 12 months +. My son is 13 months, and is far from figuring out how magnets work.

As an adult, I find myself enjoying fiddling with the train, but mildly irritating that there is no way to predict how the symmetrical blocks will fit together. I actually enjoy the non-magnetic Haba Fantasy blocks I got for my son better.

It seems like a high quality product.

I Might recommend the train for:
1. An older child who may benefit from learning about magnets.
2. A child who already likes regular wooden blocks and might like a variation and challenge.

Summary: Magnetic only on one side
Comment: I thought it would be cool to teach our little boy about how magnets work with this train, however it's not as easy to get the magnets to stick to the base of the train as one would think. There is only one side of each of the pieces that attaches magnetically to the train's base. So that means you have to try up to 6 surfaces to find the "sticky" surface. Seems like a simple thing but it's kind of annoying. Wouldn't have bought this had I known this.


Editorial Reviews:

Connect the wagons and build a fine train of of the wooden magnetic blocks! This 11-piece set contains all the blocks you need to build an actual rolling train. Feel the blocks snap together with the help of built-in magnets. Ages 12 months and up.
