Sumaku Magnetic Construction - 55 pieces

Explore shape, magnetism, and engineering through hands-on play with the Sumaku Magnetic Construction - 55 Pieces set. This innovative and open-ended resource features colourful, transparent magnetic blocks that can be connected in any direction thanks to their unique, safely enclosed rotating magnets. Unlike traditional magnetic sets, Sumaku has no polarity limitations-allowing for greater design flexibility and creative freedom.

Ideal for children aged 4 years and up, the set includes 55 pieces in a range of geometric shapes. These vibrant pieces are particularly captivating when used on light panels or light boxes, where their translucent colours create glowing, engaging structures. Sumaku supports a STEM and STEAM-based approach to learning, helping children develop essential cognitive and creative skills through construction play. The ease of connection makes this set especially appealing to young learners, promoting confidence as they experiment and build.

Includes 55 magnetic pieces:

• Triangles: 2.3(L) x 2.0(H) x 2.3(W) cm
• Cubes: 2.3(L) x 2.3(H) x 2.3(W) cm
• Hexagons: 4.0(L) x 2.3(H) x 4.0(W) cm
• Rectangles: 4.7(L) x 2.3(H) x 2.3(W) cm
