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.

Pythagoras is a magnetic construction set from Japan. It features colorful plastic blocks with magnets. It is a simple and charming construction set designed for young children. One of the sets from Pythagoras that impressed me the most was the arches. Now, construction set from the same company are available on Amazon. The components are very similar – basic cubes, blocks, arches, prisms, and cylinders.
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.
This set isn’t the smallest one by PIXIO. It has 137 pieces, and you can build many crafts from this set alone at the same time.
