My 8 year old LOVES this! He got it when he was 7 and still uses it.There are multiple magic tricks you can do.The quality of the product is what you would expect.Items seem sturdy but you must be careful to not be too rough.Some tricks are too advanced for myson but some are just right. This could be a gift for kids of all ages! I would like to see better directions but other than that it’s a perfect gift!

Lol my kid loves this set. It's easy to use and the video are nice. 10/10

this was a birthday gift for my grandchild and so I am sure she will enjoy this kit. the price was good and it arrived very fast.kids love these fun and educational kits.

My daughter has been very interested in learning magic and this is a great starter kit. The directions includes are clear and easy for her to follow. Another great National Geographic product!

Gave this to my 6-year old kid as a birthday present. My kid is now a magician who loves performing in front of the family. Fun for everyone!

This is a Christmas gift, so I am not sure how it will go over, but I was pleased with the quality for the money. Can’t wait to see how it goes over on that morning.

I gifted the Blue Marble Kids Magic Set to my niece, and it has been a total game changer! From the moment she opened it, her excitement was palpable. She jumped right in, and I couldn’t help but join in on the fun!The video instructions made it easy for her to grasp the tricks, and it was amazing to see her confidence grow as she performed for family. Watching her delight when she pulled off her first trick was priceless! Each successful illusion had her beaming, and now she can’t wait to put on a magic show.This kit has sparked her creativity and brought us closer together during our practice sessions. If you’re looking for a gift that’s not only entertaining but also builds skills and confidence, this magic set is a must-have! Highly recommend for any young aspiring magician! 🌟

I bought this for my two granddaughters. It has received great praise. Keeps them buy and interested.

This was a gift for my grand-daughter's 10th birthday. She is highly delighted with it. I am too as it is hard to find an appropriate gift. She has already had hours of fun and will continue to work on her act! It was a bit expensive but given her reaction, worth the money. The individual tricks are quite robust.

Good quality items with well made instructions that my kid can easily follow. I bought this for my 11 year old son and he thanks me a lot for it.

Quality is not the best but my daughter had a lot of fun with it

Instructions were good with picture and easyfor my 8 year old to follow. Amount deceiving for size of box. Basic stuff. Good for age. Need to work with him on tasks.

everything is broken in the box, it has been opened, rescotched but the interior is ransacked.

"Easy to use for a 6 yr old who loves pirates and wants to search for buried treasure. Works great."

If you have kids that love to dig and explore, this is for them. He’s lightweight and easy to use. It’s a great gift for the kid in this age range. We plan to have fun in the backyard or at the beaching searching for what’s hidden beneath the surface. Highly recommend

My soon to be 11-year-old has always been interested in metal detectors. One of his hobbies with his best friend is doing yard and road clean up (I know!!!) and picking up all sorts of interesting bits (and of course, trash, too). We live near an aluminum plant, so there is always bits of metal just laying on the side of the road.He was super excited to open this up. He saw it was here after school and immediately put it together and went out into the yard to find things. He did need a little bit of help putting it together (he didn't know how to get the poles together and how to properly adjust them). He practiced on the way out of the house on the fridge, washer, dryer, etc. to know how it works.This is very easy to use - it has an on/off knob that controls the volume. There is nothing to change the sensitivity... no screen... just on/off + volume knob.Our yard was beeping a lot. He couldn't always find the object that was making it go off, but he always found something when he dug around (one thing was a huge piece of glass which definitely shouldn't have made it go off...) He said he did dig down a few inches, but I didn't go out to verify.He plans to take it with us to the beach. Hopefully he gets some good finds!

 We have a pair of curious boys, 7 and 3 years old. They always needed novel toys and challenges to play with. I got this for them to discover things near the house.Assembly was very easy, and just add a 9V battery (same as those used in smoke detectors), and the device is ready to run.It is not just a toy when used as the metal detector. The boy tried it in our front yard, and he did survey some areas and found two pieces of metal under the dirty and mushes.The volume of the beep could be adjusted, the detector could be turned on and off of course, all from turning the same blue knob.Now the boys would like to take it to beach to discover more values metals such as a toy car next time we go to Santa Cruz.

Our 8, 6, and 2 year olds all have a blast with these! Lots of creative play options! Be careful when they come out of the box, as they were incredibly slippery, and left a slippery residue on our wood floor.

Great product that can be used in many ways for creative play. As mentioned, these slip quite a bit out of the box, but can easily be improved by placing Rug Gripper Tape along the bottom of the stepping stones. This eliminated the slip and made it much more enjoyable for play. Highly recommended with the supplemental purchase.

I got these Nat Geo Stepping Stones for my 3 y/o grandson and he couldn't be happier! These colorful stones have turned playtime into an exciting adventure. The foam material is soft and safe and he loves jumping from stone to stone (trying not to fall into the hot lava). My DIL is a physical therapist and said it encourages kids to be active while improving their balance and coordination. They are lightweight and easy to store, which is a bonus. Highly recommend them to any parent (or grandparent) looking for a great way to engage little ones.

We got a set of these "on sale" for $40. Just for reference, that means each cow-patty shaped piece of foam costs $4, which IMO is outrageous. They've held up under at least a dozen hours of play and the kid likes them.

Great colors, texture and size. Our 2 year old loves them. *Be warned, slippery when on carpet!

The stones were soft and my daughter loves bouncing around from stone to stone. I just wish they were a little bigger.

I purchased these for my home daycare, ages 0 to 5. I purchased in 2021, it’s the end of 2024 and I still have them. Only one of them has a bite taken out of it by a toddler. So they are definitely durable. I have not used them outside, however. I don’t remember what I paid for them, I hope it wasn’t the $50 that it is now I would be extremely upset. worth about half that I’d say. the color is vibrant, they are soft, but the kids cannot put these on the floor and jump from one to the other, because they 100% slip and slide all over the place on the vinyl flooring, carpet and wood. Most days the kids are just tossing them around or using them for some other kind of pretend play. Actually, based on other reviews, I should probably consider putting them outside, but it would be another thing to pick up off the grass. Wait for these to be on sale, $50 is a hard no. If I could go back, I probably wouldn’t have purchased them at all. They are also about the size of a large adult hand, I definitely thought they would be bigger.

I purchased these as a gift for my grandchildren's "obstacle course." They are well made and I think they will hold up very well. More importantly, I discovered that they are fabulous for seniors, who are having balance problems! They would be a great addition to any therapy. As a former yoga instructor, I am considering buying these for myself!

Bought these as an alternative to the balance stones and love them! The kids use their full imagination with these, from stepping stones to pancakes and pillows. They are soft enough not to do any damage but durable not to break. Honestly should have bought more then one set since they are such a hot item in our house.

Me llevo a tiempo, bien sellado, no estaba maltratado, me encanta, ciertamente como lo comentan antes se siente un poco resbaladizo el material, si embargo es una buena herramienta para desarrollar el equilibrio en los peques de una manera lúdica.

My 3 years old daughter loves this

My kids love these and use them in lots of different ways. A shame they are so slippery on the bottom side - jumping sideways onto one of them, it slipped out from under my daughter’s feet and caused her to land heavily on her wrist.

3 children in the household love stepping on these stones
