Fun With Magnets

Author: TeachNPlay

There are a lot of toys that are not only fun but educational as well. Children love to create anything out of nothing. Starting off with a pile of discombobulated pieces and creating a structure allows them to understand how things work and what pieces connect with each other. There are several different toys that can accomplish such activity.

Legos are a great way to start from scratch and creating something amazing from them. Magneatos are another great toy which will allow your child to create something from scratch. These magnet toys will help your child investigate geometry, architecture as well as symmetry. Magneatos allow your child to create 2-D to 3-D works of art.

Guidecraft Magneatos are award-winning magnetic construction toys that allow children to experience the fun and mystery of magnet play, while at the same time build their imagination and motor skills.

How Magneatos Work:

A set of Magneatos comes with two basic pieces: magnetic balls and magnetic rods. The balls make a joint that can connect two rods. Put three or four rods together and you’ve got the base for a bridge, tower, or anything else that your imagination can come up with.

Award Winning Toy:

Guidecraft Magneatos won the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Award in 2005 and 2006, and also won its SNAP, Special Needs Adaptable Product, both years.  They were also featured in Money magazine and on the Today Show on NBC.

Magnetic play has never been so easy and fun, so if your child is ready for something more advanced than their ABC blocks, take a look at Magneatos.
