Magnetic Blocks Review: A Great Real-Life Minecraft Building Toy for Kids!
My kids absolutely love playing Minecraft, so when I saw these magnetic blocks, I knew they’d be thrilled to build Minecraft-style creations in real life. These small magnetic blocks can be stacked together to create endless scenes. I decided to buy a couple of sets from Temu to try them out before committing to a larger purchase since toys like these need lots of pieces for creative building.
Affordable and Comparable to Social Media Ads
I’ve seen similar magnetic blocks advertised on Facebook and other platforms, but those cost 2–3 times more than the ones on Temu. From what I can tell, they’re pretty much the same product!
The Big Test
I bought these blocks as a Christmas gift, but I wanted to make sure my kids would enjoy them before investing in more. To test them, I told my kids they were for a friend’s children and asked them to check if they were “cool.” Spoiler alert—they loved them!
I initially gave them one box (108 pieces), but with three kids sharing, it wasn’t enough to build much. So, I let them use the second box, and they played happily for quite a while. When it was time to put them away, they all asked to add the blocks to their Christmas lists!
Ideal Block Count
From my experience, each child needs at least 200 blocks to have enough for creative building. Luckily, Temu offers great prices, and I always maximize savings by using coupons, discounts, and Rakuten (a cashback program that sometimes gives up to 20%). If you’re not familiar with Rakuten, it’s worth checking out—I’ve earned over $500 in cashback over the past few years!
Price and Sizing Tips
To ensure you’re getting a good deal, aim for around $0.26 per block, with the average price being closer to $0.40 per block. For example, a 100-piece set should cost about $26 for a good deal.
Also, pay attention to block sizes! They come in different dimensions:
- Regular: 2.5 cm
- Small: 2 cm
- Other: 2.3 cm
Any size will work great, they are all just as durable and waterproof.
Bonus Tip: Save While You Shop
If you’re shopping on Temu, don’t forget to use Rakuten (it’s free!)for cashback opportunities. I’ve earned around $50 in cashback just from my Christmas shopping online—every little bit helps!
Final Thoughts
I can’t wait for my kids to open these blocks on Christmas morning—they’re going to have so much fun! I hope this review helps you decide if these blocks are right for your family. Happy building! 🎄
