*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent the Geomag Glow* set to review and having enjoyed a number of other sets from this company I was keen to try it out.  I mean who doesn't like glow in the dark items.   The Glow range is packed full of natural materials inside 100% recycled plastic. The magnetic rods are made with 100% natural glowing substances which accumulate energy when they are exposed to a light source.  Then in the dark they release this energy as natural light.   What kids (and adults!) aren't going to like this set where they can build whatever they want and then watch as it glows in the dark. It comes with an instruction book which you can refer to if needed or just use your imagination. You just connect the magnetic rods to the metal spheres and build 3D magnetic structures. This 42-piece set includes 20 spheres, 20 magnetic rods and 2 plastic bases and storage boxes. The Geomag Glow Recycled 42 Pie...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Its nearly that time of year again where its time to start thinking about buying Christmas gifts (does it come round quicker every year).  I'm not one of those super organised people that buys them in the Christmas sales so I start looking for gifts around about October onwards.  The Geomag Glitter 60 Piece Construction Set* contains 28 spheres, 28 magnetic rods and 4 bases in a variety of glittery colours. It also comes with 3 storage boxes and an instruction booklet. This is the perfect gift for the budding engineer who loves to build and create things. You can connect the magnetic rods to the metal spheres to build a variety of 3D magnetic structures. This set helps with fine motor skills, engages creativity and imaginations and you learn by playing which is perfect for kids. The set is made of 100% recycled plastic and is suitable for ages 3 and up. The set is currently available for £29.99  here (usually...

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. The  Geomag Glow 60 Piece Construction Set*  contains 28 spheres, 28 magnetic rods and 4 bases  along with an instruction booklet and 3 storage boxes. The magnetic rods are made with 100% natural glowing substances and when exposed to a light source, they accumulate energy. Then in the dark, they release this energy as natural light. This adds an extra layer of interest when building the 3D magnetic structures. To start building all you need to do is connect the magnetic rods to the metal spheres and you can build anything you want to, all you need is some creativity and imagination. This is great set for learning and stimulating an interest in STEM subjects. The set is made of 100% recycled plastic and is suitable for ages 3 and up. The set is currently available for £33.74 from The Entertainer (usually £44.99). Geomag construction sets really do make great gifts.   Leigh 💜

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent The Geomag Mechanics Challenge Strike set* to review recently. I have had the chance to try out a few sets from this company so couldn't wait to try this one out. If you like building things and knocking things down this is the game for you. Ok that's a bit simplistic for this set but true. You build it using the instructions which are pretty easy to follow, but if you get stuck there were some good tutorials on YouTube. Then you load the spheres to start the gravity motor. Basically the faster you load them the faster it goes. You need to speed up to knock down the pins that are on the board. You can play alone or challenge your friends to see who can knock the most down in the shortest amount of time. There are a number of variations you can try with the pins - Tall Pins and Short Pins, Wrecking Ball, Domino Pins and Super Pins. The set has 185 pieces and includes a storage box. It ca...

     *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. E-Motion* is a another great toy/learning tool from GEOMAG.  It can be used by itself or added to other GEOMAG sets and the only limit is your imagination.  Its as much for kids as it is for adults.    E-MOTION* has 32 pieces which consist of magnetic balls, magnetic rods and panels to make up different spinners.   It comes with an instruction book which you can follow if you prefer or you can just play around and see what you can build.  I liked that you could follow instructions first as it helps you understand what type of things you can create initially and then you can just see what you can come up with just using your imagination.    It also comes with a storage box which is ideal so you can keep all the pieces together when you are finished playing with them.   If you are looking for a toy that helps with fine motor skills, learning by pla...

      *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have reviewed a few Geomag products which have all been great educational toys and I was recently sent Magicube* to try out.  Magicube is a new range of Geomagworld products which is a toy building system made up of brightly coloured magnetic cubes that attach to each other on all 6 sides. This is a great toy for ages 1-5 where they can use the 25 pieces in 4 different shapes to build 3D models of anything they want, just let their imagination run wild and see what they come up with. It also includes magnetic wheels so they can build cars or trucks to play with. This is a toy that can help children to learn whilst they are playing and helps develop their fine motor skills whilst having fun. Magicube is Swiss made and 100% recycled plastic (rubber wheels excluded). Overall this is a great toy for young children and you can read more about it here .
