Post Views: 264

Imagine a constructor set for kids that features bendable oblong strips that include magnets.

You’ve just imagined MagnaFlex.

While it may be similar in concept to other constructor sets, Magnaflex features magnetism.

Each oblong ridged piece, allows other pieces to be added to it in different ways.

You can bend, zip, or connect magnetically together pieces.

While the pieces connect together, the magnets also add another element of play, kiddos can create different designs on a refrigerator or other metal surface, taking their play realm from table to play to anywhere a magnet works!

Magnaflex is available in different sets for different color schemes and character creation.

Each kit includes a starter booklet with directions for projects shown on the packaging.

Many sets also include extra eyes and wheels for additional creative opportunities.

Kiddos who enjoy constructor sets such as Tinker Toys and LEGOS will find Magnaflex to be fun.

It’s great hands-on play for creation.
