Another manufacturer of magnetic castles is Kebotoy brand. We have other similiar castles, but from an unnamed manufacturer. The only problem we had with Kebotoy is that, judging by the description on Amazon, this manufacturer is not so generous with openwork details and windows, there are not so many of them in sets.
This is one of Magna-Tiles animal sets with cute animal figurines and thematic tiles. It has a smaller building choice than most Magna-Tiles sets, but you can use its decorated tiles with any other set. Animals have moving parts and magnets to attach them to your crafts.
A carousel building set with gears by Bauer. It’s very similar to Quercetti sets with gears. In this set, however, the baseplates are not similar to puzzle pieces, they look and work like Lego bricks.
Overall, this set looks similar to Lego Duplo and other building sets of this type. There are big, colorful bricks you can stack at each other. The set also has figurines, toy vehicles, trees and other extra pieces. You can build big and cute crafts even without using the gears.
The gears in this set are also big and colorful, they come in different sizes and allow you to make brick platform move and rotate. This set offers to build a carousel that you will be able to rotate using the gears. The set has 177 pieces, but not so many bricks or gears. Many building pieces are parts of the vehicles or decorations, so possibilities of building complex gear strutures are limited with just one set.
This set is a rare one – there are not so many sets that have gears and Lego-like bricks at the same time. Most building sets with gears have big puzzle-like pieces for building purposes, or the gears themselves are the building blocks.
Clics car and a loader made by the same boy. Now doctors have adopted this experience and are recommend this toy to other children.
ClicsToys is a Belgian company that was established in 2001. It makes the well-known Clics building blocks in its own factory in Kempen. Clics building sets have square pieces of identical form and shape. They easily connect at their edges, creating joints you can move.
With These plastic squares, you can create surfaces and fold them into 3D shapes. There are endless possibilities, even though Clics have very few extra pieces and accessories. Some sets have wheels and decorative panels, but this is pretty much it. On the other hand, Clics sets usually have many pieces, so you can create something truly complicated from just one set.
Since the basic pieces of Clics are squares, all the basic forms you can assemble from it are cubic or brick-like. However, thanks to the movable joints, you can assemble them at different angles, creating different shapes.
There are ways to create triangular or sloping figures if you assemble the pieces just right. The cubes, however, are the most sturdy and reliable structures this set can offer. There are also a possibility of creating a flat mosaic, combining the pieces of different colors.

We liked the Flower Palace for its flowers and roofs. Flowers were familiar to us – they appeared in our magnetic collection long ago, with some of the earlier SmartMax kits. And we successfully used them with Magtastik and Bornimago constructors. But when there are many flowers, it is always bright and beautiful. But the roofs from the Flower Palace set simply won us over. You can use them in the usual classic way, like roofs, or you can turn them over and get a vase (in the post below with a magnetic bouquet). As you know, there are never too many details, but still, even from such a quantity, we got a quite spacious 2-storey house, with a ramp for cars (taken from the Basic Stunt set) and a flower gazebo.
Kid Knex people consist of several parts, and you can combine them with Duplo blocks. The kids made these Pacific Islanders.
Magnetic castle by Kebotoy. One of the assembly options.
It glows in the dark! Rods glow, as wellas and drawings on cardboard inserts, which you place in transparent triangular and square panels.
One set is enough to build only one space object.
