The Geomag Magicube are made from 100% recycled plastic this set contains 9 magnetic cubes, incl. 3 cubes, 3 half cubes, and 3 quarter circles. The three different shapes offer endless possibilities of what their imagination can create from figures, animals and objects.
These are the perfect size for little hands, and the colours are very eye catching which of course holds their attention. With these blocks they make a click sound when you connect them. It acts as somewhat of a reassurance of that build. In the blocks the magnet isn’t strong, it’s exactly perfect for helping a toddler build a tower. The magnet will hold the weight of about 3 blocks, this is sufficient for a toddler making objects.
The square is the only shape that has a magnetic connection on all of its sides. The triangle and corner each have two faces that are not magnetic… these faces happen to be the triangular sides. The magnetic connection is in the center of each shape face. If you look closely, you’ll just see a faint outline of a circle. If the shapes aren’t placed together centrally they won’t connect. Don’t be alarmed! It’s actually easy to do and part of exploring the shapes is learning how they connect together.
These are perfect for inspiring imagination and curiosity in children of all ages. Designed to help develop eye-hand coordination, creativity and problem solving skills. Geomag’s Animal Shapes are the perfect way to keep your kids busy and learning for hours on end.
The magnetic blocks can be used as more than just construction toy. They can be used to aid with the learning of shape sorting, colour sorting, and number counting. Plus all the Magicube sets are interchangeable and there are lots of different styles if you want to create variety.
From a parents point of view, Geomag Magicubes are easy to store and keep tidy. They seem very robust and can be chewed, dropped (or thrown, let’s face it, we’ve all been there), without worrying about them getting damaged. Geomag are a brand with a reputation for producing very high quality STEM toys and the Magicube set is a brilliant starting STEM toy for young children.
