Winner of the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio award, these translucent colored shapes allow youngsters to easily create two- or three-dimensional designs. Helping children learn basic shape recognition while developing motor skills, the 62 sturdy yet lightweight plastic pieces incorporate magnets along their perimeters that enable them to be connected from virtually any side. An initial flat, two-dimensional design is pulled up to instantly create a three-dimensional shape - the magnets rotate to eliminate any polarity conflicts for instant attraction. Helicopters, rockets, landing craft, cranes, and more can be built using the set's 20 triangles, 22 squares, 14 isosceles triangles, four diamonds, and two trapezoids. Includes an idea guide for assembling different structures. Ages 6 and up. Boxed 14" L x 11" W x 2 1/2" D. (2 lbs.)
