This 30-piece Magformers magnetic construction set was launched in 2023 and contains eight new mini-hexagon and eight mini-octagon pieces alongside 10 squares and four triangles. It?s an excellent introductory set to the magical, magnetic world of Magformers but is also a lovely add-on for anyone who owns other sets – as it presents the new shapes, not available elsewhere. Magformers are proven to inspire children’s creativity and assist their 3D brain development through play. Children can make 2D flat ‘net’ shapes then transform them into exciting 3D geometric structures. Every magnetic shape features the unique Rotating Magnets System (RMS) – strong barrel magnets safely sealed inside the edges which rotate, so they always connect to each other. With this new set, there’s an additional challenge to test your child?s brain as not every side of the hexagons and octagons contain magnets! So they really have to figure out how to make models, especially the 26-sided ball. The set encourages open-ended STEM play, so children aged 3+ can make whatever models they choose. But there is also a model book which suggests what can be made. Features: Made by multiple award-winning global magnetic toy brand, Magformers. Frustration-free play with the Rotating Magnet System (RMS) so pieces always connect. Compatible with all other Magformers sets, so makes a great add-on. Contains 16 new for 2023 mini-hexagon and mini-octagon shapes and 30 shapes in total. Building booklet included. A widely recognised and accredited STEM toy, exploring magnets and forces, geometry and maths learning.
