GeoMag is a very simple idea: some steel balls, and some rods that have magnets on their ends so they will stick to the balls. From this simple concept hundreds, if not thousands of different shapes and designs can be made. You don’t try to make any specific item like with other construction toys (except for maybe some geometric shapes) you just put them together to have fun! Kids from ages 3 and up can enjoy playing with them! It comes in four sizes, each size having different numbers of rods and balls.

GeoMag’s design is safe. Early knock-offs of this toy caused problems by using magnetic balls and metal rods. This caused serious medical problems when someone swallowed two of the metal balls, and they pinched together inside the body. With the GeoMag, that can’t happen since the magnets are in the rods and they are too big for even an adult to swallow.

GeoMag is great for kids who like building things, but don’t like being limited by construction kits designed to build just a single thing. GeoMag stimulates creativity, logical reasoning, and is even fun for adults to play with!
