GEOMAG
GEOMAG is a Swiss toy brand, specializing on magnetic building kits.
Most GEOMAG building kits contail magnetic rods and contacting balls, and often there are extra panels which can fill space between the rods in assembled structures. This way, toys made from GEOMAG pieces look not just like hollow shapes, but more like actual solid items. Some kits also contain special parts like wheels. Pro-L is a more advanced version of these kits, with big number of pieces and strong magnets.
Another type of GEOMAG building toys are sets with cubic blocks which can connect to each other in any direction. These sets are mostly intended for the younger children, so they have fewer, but bigger pieces.
There are also GEOMAG KOR series of toys, with blocks centered around magnetic core creating animal-like shapes. Children may reassemble those pieces in any way they like, creating new fantastic creatures.
Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnetic Pattern Set
This is a classic magnetic mosaic with wooden pieces. It can create only flat ornamets and figures, and not sculptures, but is still very fun to play. The pieces stick to the magnet board which comes in the set to form pictures. This particular set is relatively large, since it contains 120 pieces of different shapes and colors.

DYRDM Magnetic Fidget Sphere
This building kit will be fun for children and adults alike. Despite its size and name, it is an actual building kit, and is just as versatile as any bigger building set. With magnets on all sides, you can connect the pieces side-to-side or stack them, and assemble any shape you like. There are only 12 pieces, all equal in shape and size, forming a sphere as a default form. Because of this, the set is small and easy to hold in hands. Also, since the toy is relatively small, the magnets are strong enough to hold any shape together as long as you need.
Magz Wooden Bricks
A set of wooden pieces with magnets. Most pieces are either short or long bricks of different colours, the 5 cylinders are only pieces of different shapes. This somewhat limits the things you may assemble. However, there are 45 pieces in the set, so you can create huge and complicated buildings or sculptures. The magnets are hidden inside the wood, so they won’t fall off no matter what you do to them.

Magformers My First Ice World – Igloo
Another Magformers Ice World craft. All pieces of this set are white on one side, so you can make your crafts more or less colorful or “snowy”.
