Magnetic building kits utilize magnets as connectors, enabling children to create stable and flexible designs. These kits often include magnetic rods and balls or magnetic tiles that easily snap together, providing an engaging building experience.
Since all PIXIO sets have identical cubes, you can build whatever you want from any of those sets. But many sets have a general theme, and they have according number of blocks of different colors and proposed crafts. This, for example, is one of the Animals set – with lots of orange blocks and booklet offering to build orange animals.
We used lids taken from round containers.
In theory, you can create 192 kinds of animals from 3 sets.

There are 8 large wheels, large rectangles, squares, triangles, semicircles – 68 parts in total. The set also contains red plastic cylinders, white connectors for them and gears, which, in my opinion, are somewhat out of place in this magnetic constructor. Besides, they are extremely similiar to the parts from the Klikko constructor, which suggests the Chinese origin of the Ginimag constructor . We have no complaints about magnetic parts, but the wheel connections leave much to be desired – they break. And that’s it, you can throw the wheel out. Red cylinders and gears did not impress children, they are put in a separate bag and are used very rarely. We simply mixed the rest of the Ginimag parts with the original Magformers ones and use them together in buildings – for example, in the illustrations for the Crow and the Fox below.
Pocket Pouch Prism… …and what you can do with them. There are 6 parts in a felt pocket – 4 triangular prisms and 2 parallelograms. 5 color options.
