Product Description

Editorial Review

For builders who are ready for something more interesting than blocks, Magnetix construction sets offer an intellectual and innovative way to build awesome 3D sculptures. This basic set comes with an assortment of colored translucent plastic bars with opposite polarity magnets on the ends along with a bunch of steel balls to connect the joints. Kids can exercise their creativity to make shapes, structures, vehicles or whatever comes to mind. Magnetix is also a great tool for the classroom: it can be used to form physics and chemistry models and mathematical shapes to enhance the curriculum. This is a fun and challenging toy for both children (starting at about age 3) and adults and provides an excellent family activity that engages all members. The kit features 150 pieces (90 bars and 60 steel balls) to make over 500 different designs and a color booklet provides construction ideas for those who need a little inspiration. --Cristina Vaamonde

My aunt got this last Christmas for all three of my kids (ages 4, 6, and 10) they all love it and play with it all the time. I will get another set to go along with what I have so the three can play better all together. Educational and fun too! Balls would be choking hazard for young ones.

I believe if you go to the store and purchase this, you may get it at a lesser price. I just came back from Target and could kick myself, as it appears to be more expensive on line.

Teenage daughter still builds with these and loves them so much that she had to get a larger case to hold all the sets she has.
