Description
Made with 100% recycled plastic, Geomag uses powerful magnetic rods, steel spheres and panels, allowing children to create unlimited structures. Panels provide a way to create rigidity in every structure thus allowing a taller and larger structure to be built.
What our testers said
“Look at this shape, it is made up of lots of 3D squares.” – Girl aged 10
“It’s a triangle house. Look – I did build a triangle house.” – Boy aged 7
What our experts think
A construction set made from recycled materials, Geomag allows children to explore their creativity and make exciting structures while learning about magnetism and problem-solving.
Our testers found playing with the pieces generated lots of discussions, which is great as it encourages children to use scientific vocabulary and ask questions. They found it fascinating that one side repelled others – this is a fantastic way to demonstrate polarity and magnetism. It also reinforces what they are learning in school as it helps children to understand these STEM concepts by applying them to a real-life context.
