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.
Lots of PIXIO sets have calm color palettes few other building blocks have. This is Coffee 60-piece set. Crafts made from it are actually stylish, but they may look boring for younger children. However, you can always mix this set with another one to add bright colors.
In a small set there are a small number of cardboard inserts – just right for the first experience in building a medieval castle.
The propeller in the Magformers Transform kit is expandable, and you can adapt it for both small and large aircrafts.
There are several Geomag sets available for toddlers, and we’ve had a set with the sea animals (Geomag Baby Sea) in our bathroom for about 3 years now. The kids enjoy playing with it, magnetically attaching the pieces to the edge of the bathtub. We recently added a set with a sorting lid to our collection. It includes a total of 7 pieces, including the lid. Initially, we let our younger son play with it on dry land, but the box turned out to be very fragile, made of cardboard, and was immediately crumpled. As a result, the plastic lid with the 6 pieces found its way into the bathtroom and joined the sea animals. This way, we have more pieces, making the playtime more diverse, and the sorting aspect is also enjoyable.
We used both magnet cubes and balls for this building.

These blocks are soft, so you can actually can throw them around. They have no sharp edges or hard corners.

Technically, the cat is supposed to hunt the fish. But, judging by their sizes, the fish will be one hunting…
