Polydron KinderMag Class Set, 96 pcs

KinderMag Starter Set. "Mag" stands for magnetic, and these construction shapes are extra fun and easy for little hands to connect in all sorts of ways.

Unlike many other magnetic construction toys, Polydron pieces only connect when they’re turned the right way, with their plus and minus poles aligned. As your child builds and experiments, they gain a basic understanding of magnetism by turning and rotating the pieces so they attract each other instead of pushing apart.

The set comes in lovely pastel colours and contains 96 open-frame pieces (48 squares and 48 triangles) that are easy for little hands to grasp and connect. There are plenty of pieces, so several children can play together, either as a team working on one big project or playing side by side while learning to share.

Create both 2D and 3D constructions. Construction play teaches your child how to connect the pieces to create a solid structure that will stand on its own without toppling over. 3D construction play is especially great for developing your child's spatial skills, which will help them in the future when drawing in 3D, folding a paper star, or eventually assembling a moving box on their own, when that day comes. 

A big hit in daycares, preschools, and homes, as well as kid-friendly cafés or waiting rooms—anywhere a little entertainment for young children is always welcome.

Avoid leaving your magnetic Polydron in direct sunlight for hours at a time. Mag Polydron is made from ABS plastic, which is not UV resistant.

Here, important skills are engaged, which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Unleash your imagination and see where the play takes you.
• Here, fine motor skills are engaged.
• This type of play strengthens your child's spatial awareness.

Measures 7 x 7 cm .
Suitable for children aged 1 yr. to 4 yrs.

Constructing and building is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We could very easily write a whole book about how this type of play benefits your child's fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity as well as their understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With this type of play, your child also gets hands-on experience with solving problems when it comes to figuring out how to design the construction so it doesn't fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of magnets, building blocks, or pieces makes it fun for them to concentrate. And it's just so satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to make an impressive row of dominoes and film it when it topples.

Do you know Polydron?

The Toy Academy aunties and uncles have a long-standing play date with the English toy company Polydron. The first toys Polydron produced were
solid plastic pieces that your child can connect in many different ways. Original Polydron pieces still exist, and they delight children with developmental and imaginative play in many families, schools, and kindergartens.

Now, there are lots of other types of Polydron. Maybe you've heard of the magnetic building blocks Polydron MAG, which also come with mirrors and as baby toys. Also, check out our XL Polydron sets which are perfect for building extra large constructions, and which can also be played with outside in the garden and can be passed down for generations. In fact, you can build a playhouse out of Polydron pieces. A common feature of all the Polydron variants is that they're quite durable toys that can be passed down to other children and delight them with engaging play that stimulates their curiosity, bodies, and brains.
