Skillmatics Art Activity – Dot It with Magnets Animals

Nice

Good idea but the small magnets not suitable for toddlers. Sadly it lacks challenge for older kids.

Kids loved it

It’s really great and amazing for fine motor skills and entertainment for the kids

very nice game and is engaging and enjoyable for my 4 years old....It helps to improve creativity in kids. very easy to use, good material and total value for money.

My son live this

The benefits of the toy are shown on my pics 6 and 7 of the review, I agree with all the statements about the learning and skills involved in this toy. The toy becomes open ended with the inclusion of the blank magnetic board, so they can create their own pictures. It comes with a small box to store the magnetic pieces which you punch out. Due to the size of the magnetic discs no under 3's and no child who has special needs and would put them in their mouth, YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD, USE WITH THIS IN MIND! The box is not overly large, if the box it comes with gets a bit tatty you could use plastic wallets to store the boards in and a smaller wallet for the magnetic pieces. I often put toys in these but cut out instructions off the boxes. As a teacher, I took a lot of our old games into school, and over the years the boxes were little too no good, but this storage method was brilliant for prolonging the life of a game or toy etc. That way you can pass it down within the family! I like anything that helps children learn. Could be taken on holiday as it is not an overly large box or stored at a caravan. When my children were small, I only bought toys and games three times a year, Christmas, Birthday and Summer Holidays. We did not have dozens of toys, but games and toys had to teach the children something or help with skills and development. Happy to recommend.

What’s a nice purchase for the young one.

This is a very unique and creative toy which my toddler loved. It features multiple pictures as well as a blank canvas and coloured magnetic dots lined with felt. The dots need to be popped out of the holders and you get a range of colours as well as 2 glitter options. The glitter however is not something I would recommend as it just gets everywhere! We ended up removing this entirely due to the mess it would make so not recommended, however, the colours were perfectly fine. Each themed picture has slots that need to be covered and then dashed lines and sections you can freely stick onto to make your own creations. It’s an activity where (if you remove the glitter dots) is mess free and can be played again and again. Lots and lots of fun but definitely to keep away from smaller children due to the small dots and dangers of them swallowing it. Very highly recommended, just not the glitter dots.
