Excitement erupted the moment children laid eyes on this magnetic building block racing set. Without need for instructions, kids leapt in and began assembling the pieces into one dazzlingly colorful race track configuration after another, each time unleashing upon their latest creation one or both of the set's two battery-powered LED race cars. At the heart of the ceaselessly creative hands-on fun is the speed with which the pieces' magnetized edges connect to one another, ease of use that inspires a great deal of exploration and experimentation. The inclusion of support columns and sloping pieces facilitates the creation of increasingly intricate 3D track scenarios. And since the goal is invariably to create tracks comprised of enclosed loops for continuous traversal come race time, there is a satisfyingly puzzle-like quality to these endeavors that amply promotes spatial reasoning and a problem-solving mindset. The swiftness with which youngsters are able to conceive of and execute these ever-expanding possibilities is a tribute to the set's enormous educational and play value, while its huge entertainment factor keeps kids coming back to the table for more fun and learning.
