The perfect toy for any child who has interest in building
My 5 year old daughter loves this set. We bought a smaller set for Christmas 2003 when she had just turned 5 and she, I and my husband immediately became addicted. Very few toys can keep a 5 year old's attention for longer than a few minutes, but we would play with these for hours coming up with every combination we could think of. The shape and combination possibilities are limitless. You can even construct them to spin and move. She has learned so much about geometry, magnets, structure, and physics, it is amazing.

As a point of reference, she has not shown a huge amount of interest in Legos, but she plays with with Kids K'Nex constantly.

Great!
These are great. My 10-year-old son got a set and has played with them a lot. They are very durable and very strong. Easy to make a lot of designs and encourages creativity. He also got some for his friend's birthday. Good stuff! ... Read more

Probably even more fun for adults!
This is an amazing toy. I actually bought this at the brick-and-morter store, but have bought Supermags through this site and think a comparison would be interesting. I bought a set of Supermags for my son for Christmas when I happened to see it in a toy store. Little did I know what an effect it would have on us. I didn't know about Geomag at the time. We have been playing with the Supermag set for four months now and have bought over 25,000 additional pieces from this site. That's right - 25,000! We are building huge - over 6 feet tall - sculptures with these magnets. But I realized that I should buy some Geomags and compare them. Here is what I found:

-Both sets have the same magnetic strength and identical spheres, but the Geomags are a little longer than the Supermag long pieces.
-The Geomags are wider at the contact point, which doesn't allow as tight angles, but makes them hold their angles better.
-Supermag has two lengths for the magnets, which lets you build a greater variety of shapes, especially organic shapes.
-The panels that come with Geomag let you create squares, diamonds, and pentagons that hold their shape, but they are difficult for my 5 and 7 year-olds to put together.
-The Supermags allow you to build squares and diamonds (but not pentagons) using the other length pieces for braces.
-Because the Supermags are a little shorter, they don't work with the Geomag panels. ... Read more
