Another figure from 14-piece Tegu set. This color scheme is Tints – the set also comes in different colors.
Category: Magnetic Building Kits
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.
The Truck
The magnets inside plastic frames keep these pieces together, supporting box-like cabin. However, the lower part of the truck is even more stable.
The Magnetic Castle Construction Set – Combination With Bornimago
In the photo, the green straight rods and the red curved ones are from Bornimago, while the plastic panels are from the “Castle” construction set. The construction set pieces combine well with the magnetic rods from Bornimago, except for the plastic half-circle pieces (a separate blue piece in the photo). To fit this piece, you need the original curved rods from the “Castle” construction set: they are either slightly shorter or slightly thinner than the Bornimago ones (I haven’t figured it out yet), but the piece made with the original “Castle” rods doesn’t fall off.
Metro Mags – Yet Another Version Of Magna-Tiles
Metro Mags and Magnetic Stick N Stack are most likely clones and cousins of the original Magna-Tiles. I don’t know what the quality of Metro Mags is. But something tells me that it’s no worse than the Magnetic Stick N Stack. And we checked this one and were quite satisfied, it doesn’t differ from the original in magnetic properties.
The Turtle
Just a small and sturdy magnetic sculpture.
Dragon’s Castle
And a brave knight. Made from EDTOY Architecture wooden set.
MindWare Imagination Patterns Deluxe – Pattern Cards
This set includes 60 pattern cards, offering you to assemble the pictures of different difficulty. You can assemble you pictures right on top of the cards if you want.
PIXIO Tropic – 60 Small Magnetic Building Blocks for Kids & Adults
This is one of the smaller PIXIO sets, containing 60 pieces in 4 colors. Fully compatible with any other PIXIO building block sets.
Although the magnetic cubes in PIXIO sets are smaller than those found in most magnetic building kits, measuring only 8mm each, they are still remarkably strong. They have the ability to keep rather big toys together once assembled. These cubes are designed to be used as “pixels” in both 2D and 3D sculptures and toys. They can be easily assembled, played with, and then reassembled again, offering endless creative possibilities.
The Crab And The Plesiosaurus
Another bunch of sea creatures made from Iotobo Mandala set.
Tegu House
When we saw a picture of a house from the Tegu constructor this spring, we were eager to purchase a new set of Tegu Explorer. We settled on the Nelson version – pieces of orange, green, light blue, dark blue. The roof superstructure with the pipe is simply lying on top. It is not fixed, since there are no magnets at the base of the trapezoids. This is what confused me when buying a set. I was completely sure that the superstructure is holding by magnetic connection…
