Review Of KidzLabs Magnet Science

This review is not sponsored. I purchased this with my funds for my kids’ enjoyment. This is simply my own Review Of KidzLabs Magnet Science.

As a mom, I am always searching for toys my kids can enjoy for a long time. There are so many options out there. I cannot tell you how much time I buy something, and the kids don’t like it, or it does not interest them for long.

But, this Coronavirus pandemic is going on for a while now. And these kids need more indoor options to keep them busy. So today, I am doing a Review Of KidzLabs Magnet Science.

PROS

The very first point is that this is affordable. At the time of this review, it is under $14. Buying three for my girls so that there is enough to go around still comes in under $50.

It allows for imagination. Playing push cars, fishing, and building magnetic people were some ideas my kids used.

The kids are entertained. They are playing with it as I type this up, and it’s been 50 minutes so far!

It is fun. Making magnetic people with the mini bolts was pretty cool.

In our home, we are not against electronics. Yet, this is an excellent option for keeping the kids away from electronics.

It is educational and fun!

I have one child that has an engineering mind. And another that has some learning difficulties that make it difficult to stay focus. It entertained them both!

The learning aspect is outstanding. But, with the kids being inside more now, engaging non-electronics= is a win!

CONS

It is recommended for kids over eight years of age, though. So, of course, use your discernment. The magnets are solid and heavy enough to break things. There are also tiny parts.

The rope makes the fishing rod come undone right after you tie it in a knot. That became annoying fast. As a solution, secure it several times. But only hope for the knot to last through one fishing session. You can also replace the rope with something else that may work better for tying a knot.

IT does not have many options on what the child can do with the magnets. (But their imagination makes up for this.)

The actual game is much smaller than it first seems. Thus, the parts would be easy to lose.

There are not that many pieces in the set. But because I bought three, that was not a problem.

Even though this was fun, it will not last long. After about a month, all the parts were ‘missing,’ which made it, umm, useless. My youngest still ‘played’ with the odd pieces together with other random stuff for a bit. But isn’t that the average projection of most toys?

Lastly

I will conclude this by saying every parent is different. Also, what every child enjoys is different, too. What my kids and I will love, you may find to be absolute trash. And the other way around. I write this and include the pictures not to convince you but to offer another mom’s experience.

Once you have kids, you understand it is rare to find a toy that a kid will play with for years and years. Maybe a favorite doll (girl mom).

That said, like with everything else, consider the cost for the gains. Are you okay with spending such an amount? And is the cost of all or most of that toy being rendered unusable or part of the junk toy bin worth the price? And of course, would you all be happy?
