[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So it's a little complicated to set up especially if you do it with your kids lol but once it's set up they can have hours of fun racing their marbles thru the tunnel tube's
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun for all agars! Kids love it, grandparents love it! Super easy to build and clean up. You can make multiple versions with it. Super durability not made cheap.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this set for my 8 and 6 year old boys, as they’ve been asking for a marble run, but I wasn’t sold on the traditional ones you typically see. This was a perfect set to begin with and even better than it’s easy to add on to with your existing magnet tiles or even more sets. The magnets interlock well together and it was fun to make different patterns. I would buy this again and it would also make a great gift!
PICASO MAGNET TILES ARE FUN BUT DIFFICULT FOR YOUN

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 45-Piece Picasso Tiles Set presents a captivating concept, especially with its marble maze feature. However, there are several points to consider for those planning to purchase this set.
**Durability**: The tiles are smaller than average and, while they are visually appealing, the plastic tubing that connects to the tiles starts showing cracks after just two days of use. This is likely due to the thinness of the plastic, which doesn't hold up well under the pressure needed to snap the tubes into place.
**Portability**: One of the perks of this set is its portability. The smaller-sized tiles make it easy to pack and carry around, which is great for on-the-go fun or compact storage.
**Versatility**: The magnets in the smaller tiles are compatible with the larger ones, adding to their versatility. This allows for creative combinations and expanded play options. However, the magnetic hold is not as strong in the smaller tiles, which can be a bit of a letdown.
**Assembly**: Assembly can be challenging, especially for younger children. The see-through tubes are difficult for a 4-year-old to snap onto the tiles through the holes, and they don't secure very well. This leads to structures falling apart easily and can cause frustration. It might be worth considering upping the recommended age range from the current 3 to 99 to better reflect the skill required for assembly.
**Engagement**: While the concept and potential for engagement are high, the frustration experienced by younger children due to assembly difficulties can cause their attention to wander. My child enjoyed the set initially but became agitated when they couldn't connect the pieces themselves, leading to me frequently having to step in and fix it for them.
In conclusion, the 45-Piece Picasso Tiles Set is a fun and engaging little set with a lot of potential. It's an excellent idea with a lovely marble maze feature, but it does need a few adjustments. Strengthening the plastic tubing and re-evaluating the age recommendation could greatly improve the overall experience for younger children.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be completely honest, my husband and I tried to help our kids build this because they literally could not. It’s too flimsy and so hard for a child to do it on their own
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are having so much fun with these! The kids loved watching the ball go down the deisgn we picked out. The pieces were a little tough to put together at first but they seem to be loosening up for easy assembly that the kids can do themselves!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves these too!! I will keep an eye on little ones in case the marbles get swallowed. These toys are great educational and strategy building tools and are easy enough to assemble for everyone. The magnets on the tiles work great and my daughter and I had a lot of fun creating different courses for the marbles.
