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.
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.

PIXIO Coffee have only 3 colors, and these colors are shades of brown. But you still can make interesting sculptures from this set.

It’s a combination of the Russian Magneticus and the Japanese People. The Russian version features simple geometric blocks and arches, while the Japanese version offers unconventional and interesting pieces, including unique wheels. The size of the Japanese blocks is slightly larger, but given the variety of shapes and vibrant color shades, this 2mm difference is not noticeable.
It’s a successful combination of magnetic construction sets – the Russian Magneticus and the Japanese People.
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.
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.
This set has somewhat medium size and color choices for the PIXIO sets, so you can build many complicated crafts from this set.
