Chinese Magnetic Building Kit – Sets
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.
KIDS PLAYGROUND Building Kit
This set has 131 pieces to build all kinds of slides.
GEOMAG Supercolor Panels
There are 3 different sizes of GEOMAG Supercolor Panels sets. Each has panels of different shapes, and, of course, balls and rods to build from. These sets are very similar to GEOMAG Panels, but have more bright colors.
K’NEX Imagine – Wheel Pair
An example of a wheel pair made from K’Nex pieces.
Nets Tribe Magnetic Soft Building Blocks
An unusual building set with very big plush magnetic pieces. In fact, they are so big, that sculptures made from this set can be used as small kid furniture. Magnets inside the blocks are strong enough to hold these creations together. Blocks of this set have different shapes, such as cubes and prisms, and you may order pieces of certain more exotic shapes by contacting the seller.

Gears!Gears!Gears! Rover Gears
Rover Gears is the smallest Gears!Gears!Gears! set. It has only 43 pieces – interlocking baseplates, poles, and, of course, gears. With this set, you can build a fantastic vehicle, add the axis pieces, and decorate your craft with the gears. Then you can turn a crank on any of these gears, and watch all the connected gears rotate. Rover Gears set focuses on building small cars, but there are many different crafts you can make from this set.
The pieces of this set are big and sturdy, so they can survive many years of use. This set is not very complicated in its concept, so you can give it to the children you are 3 years old or older. You can also mix the this set with any other Gear!Gears!Gears! set, enhancing it with extra pieces.
Learning Resources is a popular and well-known toy brand from the USA that specializes in STEM toys. Gears!Gears!Gears! is a series of building sets with moving and rotating gears in them. These gears may have different functions in different sets, but you can mix them and use them together. Gears! Gears! Gears! sets show exactly how the gear transmission works, and you can use them as a colorful and simple explanation of the gear physics.

Taikon Scissors
Just Taikon scissors by Alesya. Ironically, we used the real scissors to cut these tubes.
Building straws, also known as building tubes, are a popular type of construction set with unique possibilities. They allow you to create silhouettes and contours of different objects and animals. All crafts from these sets can bend and move, so kids can actually play with their creations.
Instead of blocks, these sets have flexible plastic tubes, that look and act like soft cocktail straws. They can bend in any way and hold any position you want. The tubes usually attach to each other with special plastic connectors. The connectors can look and work differently in the different sets, but there are always many ways the straws can connect. The most common version is hard pins that go inside the straw’s hollow end, fixing it in place. Some connectors of this type have only one or two pins, some may have eight or ten. They also can have different forms, like sharp corners or straight rods. However, this connection type usually means that you can connect the straws only with their ends, and never with their middles.
These straws have great building potential, but, sadly, they can’t hold their shape under pressure (unlike, say, block towers that can hold something on their top). The straws’ building possibilities also depend on how long they are.
