Since it can be challenging to find Chinese construction sets by their names, which are often written in either Chinese characters or English letters and generic names that yield various search results, I have provided an image of all three sets for those who are interested in expanding their collection of construction sets. The crafts made from the set containing 52 pieces are shown in my other posts.
Category: Plastic and wooden blocks (Magneblocks, Magneticus, etc.)
The building blocks in these kits possess the unique ability to be assembled in all directions, thanks to the magnetic force that keeps them securely together. This flexibility allows children to explore their imagination and construct structures in various orientations and configurations.
They enhance imagination, engineering thinking, and teach kids about magnets.

GEOMAG MagiCube 8 pcs
A small magnetic building set from the Swiss Geomag brand. This set is specifically designed for younger children, ensuring their safety and enjoyment.
All the pieces in this set have the same cubic shape and come in four vibrant colors. The cubes in this set are larger than those typically found in other sets, making them safe for children as they can’t be swallowed. Additionally, these larger cubes are sturdy, preventing kids from accessing the magnets inside.
While the magnets in this set are strong enough to support the assembled cubes, they are not too strong to pinch a finger when assembling the cubes.
Geomag brand also have bigger sets of this type available on Amazon.
