    Definitely fun and experimental
    My grandson loves experimenting with this magnet kit. He wants to be a scientist and he's interested in magnets and how they work right now. This is a good start for him, and it's safe for him to experiment with.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Iman roto
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 1, 2020
    El juego es divertido y tiene muchos experimentos pero la calidad no es resistente, por lo menos del iman que muestro en la foto ya que llegó roto. Otros de los imanes están recubiertos de plástico y se ven más resistentes.
    Al tratar de pedir una reposición, no está disponible y al solicitar reembolso me devuelven menos de lo que se pagó, por lo que si lo compro otra vez tendría que pagar más.
    El producto es divertido, la calidad es media y el servicio malo.
