Drilling Machine – Magnext Building Kit
Category: Magnetic balls and rods (Geomag, Bornimago, Magnetix, Magneticus)
One of the most popular types of magnetic building toys consists of plastic beams equipped with magnets in their tips, along with steel balls that act as connectors. The magnetic forces hold these parts together, allowing kids to connect them at various angles and attach multiple beams to each ball.
These magnetic building toys offer endless possibilities for assembly, enabling children to create structures in any desired shape or form. While geometric shapes tend to provide greater stability, the flexibility of the magnetic connections encourages imaginative designs.

Geomag Pro-L Color
Pro-L sets don’t have any bright colors like other Geomag sets. They are silver and gray, sometimes with light blue panels. This minimalism has its own charm, but younger kids may find it boring.
Satellite Tracking Station – Panoramic View
Satellite Tracking Station. Panoramic View. You need to track satellites somewhere in space. My son sat with it for 2 days, building and rebuilding. Here’s what it turned out to be in the final version. Various radars, antennas, transmitters. On the right, there’s a rocket with a satellite, ready for launch.
