 Busy hands, happy handsSep 29, 2000
By Karen Siegfried
This playboard is a great play-value-for-money purchase. I bought this for our son when he was 18 months old, to use on a long plane journey and subsequent vacation. He loved it, and it continues to be one of his favorite playthings. It fits well on an airplane tray and comes in handy in restaurants to keep a busy little hands happily occupied. My son also uses it as a playmat and mixes his diecast vehicles in with the magnetic ones. The magnets aren't overly strong, so do be forewarned that with a young toddler, pieces occaisionally slip off the board...this is only a concern in an airplane/restaurant, where you might leave one piece behind.

A Favorite ToyMay 16, 2000
I gave this toy to my son when he was just over 2- years-old and he hasn't stopped playing with it since. It's compact and portable, great for car trips, and one thing I really love is that all the pieces stay together because they are magnetic. It has the same appeal as stickers, but with more versatility because the trucks and equipment can be easily moved and manipulated on the background board. I would say this toy has given us the best play value for the money. The only problem we've encountered is the excavator has a long slender arm that I keep having to reinforce with tape to keep it together. Other than that, the pieces are stong, durable and colorful. I think this is a great toy and allows kids to use their imagination.

Replenish stock on magnetic playsets - create a sceneJul 18, 2001
I purchased @ least 5 different titles of the magnetic playsets - create a scene playsets. Each one has given my children hours of imaginative and creative enjoyment. Without a doubt many of them are thematic in nature with pleasant graphic content. [...]

Construction Magnetic PlaysetOct 24, 2005
By Linda C. Weddle
My son got this for his 4th birthday. He is very big on construction vehicles and I thought it was a good alternative to the old Colorforms sets that we had as kids. He loved it! But since he is extremely active, he could not really sit still to make pictures on the frame. He liked the magnetic board for a little while, then he simply pushed the magets around the floor like they were real vehicles instead of magnetic cut-outs. Most of the magnets now reside on our refrigerator - which is just fine with him!

 Great fun and portability, but not the most durable.Oct 25, 2011
By C. Yelland
We purchased this before taking our 18-month old on a 4 hour plane ride, hoping it would keep him busy enough to keep the other passengers from wanting to throw us out of the emergency exit somewhere over the Grand Canyon. It definitely did the job - there are quite a few magnetic pieces to arrange, and the playset is a good size (just larger than an airplane tray table when unfolded). As other reviewers have mentioned, the magnetic "stickability" isn't the greatest - and is nonexistent when you near the edges of the board. This can be a problem when you're trying to fold everything up, or arranging the tiny construction cone magnets. However, I love the idea of this toy and we'll definitely be ordering others based on the success of our air travel with it. I also wound up temporarily lending it to another family with 2 rowdy young boys in tow while waiting in the airport terminal - and it was a huge hit with them as well (and much appreciated by their mother).
I also want to add that the construction scene I received was NOT the same as the one shown in the product photos. This didn't bother me, but it's worth noting.
