More from the MuseumTour expert:
Building with magnets helps children develop eye-hand coordination, supports mathematical and problem-solving skills, and stimulates spatial development, which leads to improved observation skills and increased creativity. This set provides hours of fun and challenges for children playing alone or with others, therefore fostering either independence or cooperation and other social skills.
Magnetic Building Sets Attract Creative Minds
Create towering buildings, artistic sculptures, geometric shapes, spinning tops,
even wearable jewelry. This kit's revolutionary magnetic X bars (every tip holds
a powerful magnet!), straight bars and gleaming steel balls hold fast at any angle
for ever-changing structural possibilities.
