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.
Quick little crafts made in the hotel room in the morning. While the older ones were busy packing, Alesya and Arisha (her crafts are below), the younger daughters, engaged in construction to avoid getting in the way of the adults. Wooden Magnastix blocks and plastic Magneblocks were used – they are nearly identical in size and color.

A magnetic baby owl in Alesya’s hands. Wooden Magnestix blocks and plastic Magneblocks were used.
We have a small magnetic construction set. It’s Chinese-made, and the quality is accordingly lower. The magnets are a bit weak, so it’s not suitable for playing, only for observing and admiring.
