Get the kids away from the screen and thinking creatively with a Geomag Mechanics Motion kit. The construction platform combines the forces of magnetism with a world of mechanical construction, to stimulate creativity, inventiveness and ingenuity. In addition to the classic magnetic rods and steel spheres, Geomag Mechanics adds mechanical elements within the constructions, expanding the play possibilities.
Watch your kids think constructively and learn new design elements as parts of the structures rotate to trigger chain reactions from the magnetic attraction and repulsion. Think of this gear as new age Lego or Meccano. Geomag products qualify in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) category, offering an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Established in 1998, Geomag created the first magnetic construction system, using simple elements like magnetic rods and metal spheres to hold pieces together by a ‘magical force’. They employ creativity, intelligence, the human mind, magnetism and gravity as ‘invisible’ forces to allow users to learn while playing.
This Swiss made product feels a much higher quality than many of the ‘toys’ you typically find. It features 96 pieces, with all Geomag products made at their factory in Canton Ticino, guaranteeing the highest standard and sustainability. They conform to the most stringent European and international safety standards, with the magnets securely fastened to the rods and the non-magnetic spheres are not toxic should they be accidentally swallowed by kids or pets. Geomag makes every effort to minimise impact on our natural environment, using recycled plastics and materials when possible.
