The Magnetic Tile Carnival Kit

Winner of an Oppenheimer Toy Award, this is the set of sturdy, colorful magnetic tiles that allow young engineers to build their own amusement park rides. Using just squares, triangles and hexagons with powerful embedded magnets, children can discover the basics of structure and the curiously interconnected world of geometry. Young builders can construct spinning ferris wheels and carnival thrill rides using the kit's simple construction method. All pieces can be connected while lying flat on a tabletop, then lifted up from the center, compelling the sides to snap into position with firm magnetic force. Includes 24 squares, 12 triangles, two hexagons and two plastic figures to ride the midway amusements. Ages 6 and up. Box 13 1/2" L x 10" W x 3" D. (2 1/2 lbs.)
