Magnetic Blocks

"Better than Legos"

Magnetic Blocks are a fun and interactive learning tool that keeps children occupied and happy for hours. Instead of normal blocks that just fall apart when you build with them, Magnetic Blocks will stick together and provide some rigidity and structural protection. The toys can be used by kids who are older due to the safety of magnetic toys and the possibility that exists for children to swallow smaller pieces.


The toy is design with six small magnets placed under the 6 faces of a cube shaped die. There are also connecting bars which have magnets that are used to connect the blocks together. This allows for children to build creative structures and have fun.

The production consists of magnetic block shapes and magnetic linkages. The possibilities of creation are endless!
