SmartMax XXL 70 pieces

The 70-piece count keeps my kids busy for way longer than I expected—they actually share without fighting. Even the three-year-old can easily snap the big pieces together. The bright colors really pop against our beige rug, which is a nice bonus.

The lid doubling as the base is genius—we can build on one side, then flip it over to start a whole new tower without clearing the table. The magnets snap together with a satisfying click that my 4-year-old finds endlessly amusing.

My 3-year-old loves sorting the bright pieces by color before building. The pieces click together satisfyingly and are sturdy enough for her to play without breaking them. This set has kept her quietly engaged for over an hour at a time.
