Mudpuppy Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Friends Magnetic Character Set– Ages 3+ - Magnetic Play Set with 4 Scenes, 40+ Magnets – Great for Travel, Quiet Time

Fun travel toy. The kids really enjoy it.

When we 1st got the product it had a missing shoe much to the disdain of my child but customer service was helpful and are sending a replacement.

Wanted something portable to have for travel and for use in restaurants to keep a four year old entertained and busy. The container and magnetic adhesion works well for this function and she enjoys playing with it. Reserving use for these occasions only keeps the novelty element going. 😉

This is such a cute concept!! We love Eric Carle and all the illustrations evoke some real nostalgia for me as his books were some of my favorites throughout my childhood! The cookies are vibrant and beautiful, just like the books!! I have to be honest I didn’t read the full description and I really thought that the scenes would also be magnetic too! I understand that the magnets hold the scenes in place so it’s not totally necessary but I would have liked it if they were magnetic as well! The magnets come on a sheet that you pop them out of; I popped them all out and then cut a thin border using the remaining piece that held all the magnets. The result wasn’t quite uniform (although it did the trick), so it would be good if the manufacturers did a perforated border that could serve this purpose if they aren’t going to make the scenes magnetic. The scenes and magnets are pretty thin so it would make me nervous to leave my 2 year old alone with this for fear that she would tear them apart (I know it says 3+ right on it, but that’s just something I felt others might like to know). I like that the case itself can be used as a platform for the scenes and magnets. I have an almost 4 year old and a just-turned-2 year old and it’d be so neat if the manufacturers made it so that the tin that it comes in wasn’t hinges, but instead could pull apart to be two separate platforms for the scenes so that each kid could use it on the go! On another note, because these magnets are thin they are great for the fridge because I’m not worried about them leaving scratches on my stainless steel!**I included pictures of all the magnets that came with the set**

What a cute gift for a little girl! So many fun hours dressing the Kitty.

What can you say, it's an amazing story so what better way for your kids to interact with the characters than with this magnetic set. My 2 year old boy absolutely loves it so when he opened this up Christmas morning, he had it opened in no time and playing around with it. So that's the why with this purchase.As another review has mentioned, the magnets are thin, but I honestly don't know what they were expecting. It's no different than the magnet you get from a dentist with their number on it or anything similar. They are relatively strong, strong enough to hold the different scenes up on the fridge. Speaking of scenes, as in the description there are 4 of them. They are on the flip side of two pieces of paper stock with a highly glossed surface. They've got some stiffness to them, but still can be bent/creased, so beware if your little one has a knack for that.I've added 2 customer submitted photos. One just shows the scene card along with all the magnets and the second one shows some magnets "set" in a scene. One really cool thing about this is that the tin container is magnetic so it can be taken with you on the go for the kids to play along with whether it's in the car or at grandma and grandpa's house.Summary: For the price it's a good value. The magnets are of high quality, the scenes are really cool and the nice tin just adds to that value. This set has had a nice workout on our fridge for the last month or so. If you're on the fence, I'd definitely get a set. It just adds that much more to the story since we've used them to reenact it.

Very mixed review here! The tin is great and the magnets are cute. I know lots of fun will be had, but the item is not as described. There’s only 2 scenes, not 4!! At the end of the day, it’s fine…my daughter will still enjoy this. But what an annoying ripoff!!

We gave this to a five year old as a Christmas gift. She loved it and opened it and played right away. Very cute.

Very cute toy. Be careful when removing the pieces from the template for the first time. Bunny’s arm got a small tear but still very usable.

I was extremely excited to share this with my class. I am short on resources at home during COVID19 and knew my class would love the different stories when we met on video. I received my order today and disappointed is an understatement. Not one of the 4 stories have the complete characters/pieces in it. How can you read the Very Hungry Caterpillar with only 5 pieces of fruit? Where is all the junk food he ate? In Brown Bear Brown Bear there are only 4 characters included. It's the same for the other 2 stories. If you are not going to include all the pieces to tell the story at least post photos so we know before ordering.

For the “world of Eric Carle” product this is quite poor quality. I love all the other items from this line I’ve bought, but this is not worth the money. It was more expensive than any other item and the pieces are very small and flimsy. There are too many stories represented, so you only get a few pieces from each story, I stead of all pieces from just one book. I don’t recommend.

This thing is amazing. My 3 year old loves it.

Muy bueno .El juego resulto práctico por los imanes, qué permiten usarlo durante los viajes sin perder piezas.Ocupa poco espacio.
