Just Think Toys Bathtime Consruction Building Toy (Ball Fall)

I bought this specifically because of this statement in the description: "When wet, the blocks stick to each other like magnets and stick tightly with each other or with walls." In retrospect, I should have trusted the bad reviews and skipped the product entirely because it does not stick to itself "like magnets" nor does it stick to "walls." In fact, it pretty much sticks to nothing, making it a set of completely useless floating foam blocks that cause only frustration in kids hoping to make a ball run, or anything really.In my imagination, the conversation at Just Think Toys went like this.Toy engineer: "so, we have these cool foam bathtime blocks, you can put a ball on.Marketer: "wow! That's great! would you say they're 'fascinating?'TE: "well. . .they're fun, so yeah, I *guess* they're ok. but they've got some flaws I need to work on. Like, they don't stack quite right."M: yeah, but they *could* stack, right? They *could* be fun to make a ball run out of."TE: "sure, but right now, they don't really stick together all that well. I mean, they kind of stick together for a second or two, but once you run a ball down them, they don't stick anymore."M: "so you're saying they stick together."TE: "sort of. . .it's more complicated than that. I suppose if we got rid of the decorative circles on the sides, it would increase the surface area and maybe they'd stick better."M: "yeah, yeah, but they *do* stick, right?"TE: "again, sort of, and not for long enough to create a ball run like we'd hoped."M: "details, details. . .they stick together and make a ball run."TE: "that's not what I said."M: "hmmm. . .what else sticks together? glue? tape? magnets? oooh, I like that. . .they stick like magnets. That just sounds cool. . .and sciency.TE: "but I said they don't stick together. . ."M: "so we'll say they stick 'like magnets' and 'tightly.' yeah, I love the sound of that! But how will we get the parents who want an educational toy? EVERYone loves an educational toy. . .hmm. . .how about 'experiment with geometry, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, balance, structure and cause-effect?' Perfect! I swear this copy just WRITES itself some days."TE: hello? Are you listening to me? they DON'T stick together all that well.M: "yeah yeah, blah blah blah. . .I'm on a roll here. What else? oooh yeah, 'explore!' 'expiriment!' this is marketing GOLD here. Gold!"TE: "oh for pete's sake. . .I'm leaving now."M: "whatever. . .now, let's get our photoshop wizards to work. . ."And that is the only scenario my brain can come up with to explain the way this product is woefully oversold. It did not cling to itself. It did not cling to any wet surface, including the wall of the tub or bathroom. I only wish I could return it, but to learn this I had to open the box so now I can't return it. Learn from my mistake. Read the reviews and find something else for your inquisitive child to play with at bath time.

Bought the starter set and this set for my 4 year old and last night we tried them out, he got really frustrated. They stick but not strong or long enough to build anything with more than 3 pieces. It is a moulded plastic tub but I tried them on the mirror just to see and they didn't stick to glass either. Great idea if the can get them to work the way they claim in the future.

Kids (2 & 3) love playing with them in the bath. Makes bath time more pleasant for them and their mother.

Such a cute idea but unfortunately this product doesn't stick to our bath tub or the ceramic tile on the wall. We were able to get a couple of them to stick but as soon as we put the ball on it fell off. We use regular foam blocks and thy work much better... Would not recommend this product to any one!

Great idea, but it doesn't stick to the tub strongly enough to work. We have foam letters and numbers that stick just fine, but these fall off when you place the ball on them. I would have given it zero stars if that had been an option.
