An arch with a traffic light and a bridge

We tried out the blocks from a Russian manufacturer of magnetic construction sets and mosaic Magneticus. Alesya made an arch and a bridge for her favorite toy cars. If it were made with regular wooden or plastic blocks, the bridge would come apart, but with the magnetic blocks, it turned out sturdy. The child is happy, but with 32 blocks from 2 sets, it’s still not enough for her.

Edtoy Gears – Davinci Block Gear

The set contains 21 pieces. 11 of them are gears of 4 colors, both large and small.
The first thing the kids did when they opened the kit was to build a chain and try twisting and turning it. Everything connects and spins perfectly. Sometimes small gears fly out of the chain on high speed, but we put them back immediately.
At first, I was biased towards this set. I thought that it would be uninteresting, a one-time set for a couple of crafts. But the set turned out to be very entertaining and always in demand.
With 2 Edtoy Davinci Block Gear sets, we also added cubes, cones, halves of cylinders, pyramids and tubular parts in our Edtoy arsenal.

Another craft from this set.

PIXIO-1600 Magnetic Blocks

PIXIO building sets have pieces of identical shape and size. All these pices are cubes about 1/3 inch big. The only different between the sets is number and color of pieces, so you can mix them together seamlessly. This is one of the biggest sets – with whopping 1600 “pixels”.
