Ellie loves building things anything from Lego, K'nex and at the moment she is really into the Geomag contruction kits. Her dream is to become a structural engineer so building kits are fantastic for her.
Ellie already has a couple of Geomag sets but most recently we were sent the Geomag Mechanics Loops and Turns 130 Piece Construction Set to have a look at.
Through constructive play, a child will learn what will work and what will not. Overcoming problems to build structures in a particular way will always aid creative thinking and problem solving skills. Construction toys provide an understanding of how pieces fit together and encourage comprehension of differing directions, shapes, and space.
For ages 8 years plus the Geomag Mechanics Gravity Loops and Turns Construction Set is a fascinating. It is a Swiss-made 130 piece set and is made from 74% recycled plastic and winner of numerous awards.
On opening the box it is clear so see which parts are which. It comes with clear instructions on how to put the track together too.
Mechanics Gravity Magnetic Track harnesses the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity through original and surprising means. The spheres inside the circuit are set in motion by an innovative magnetic cannon that uses the force of attraction of the accelerating magnet. Gravity is the innovative evolution of the Geomag Mechanics line.
Developed with expert players in mind, the new construction system is based on an innovative "gravity motor": this uses the weight of the Geomag spheres to kickstart the mechanisms and movements of the Geomag Mechanics structures.
The pieces easily slot together and the set can be taken apart again easily. This would be a great Christmas present and a fun activity to do over the Christmas holidays. No batteries or electricity is needed as the motion is provided by the invisible forces of Gravity and Magnetism which is a massive bonus when it comes to children's toys.
Key Features:
Mechanical and magnetic construction system.
A STEM product that can stimulate scientific learning.
Winners of numerous awards.
Suitable for children aged 8 + to develop their imagination and curiosity through the science of magnetic construction.
The 130 plastic mechanical elements are at the heart of the Gravity system.
Made using recycled plastic.
This is a STEM product that can truly stimulate curiosity and inspire to learn more about science. It is a great set and can be bought for around £34.99 from The Entertainer. Do keep an eye out on the price though, as of writing this a few days ago it was on offer for £26.24.
I was sent the Geomag Mechanics Gravity Loops and Turns Construction Set free of charge in exchange for this blog post.
Sounds like something my little Man would enjoy. I bought him something similar by a different brand last year and the add-ons are a ridiculous price for what you get. x
