This innovative building toy eschews the traditional right angles of block sets in favor of spheres and cylinders. The trick is that the white spheres have magnetic cores that can be used to link together the other pieces into three dimensional structures.
My 18-month old grandson loved the magic of seeing the "wands" be able to attract and even pick-up the balls. Older kids will be able to puzzle out how to make ever more complicated designs that hold together against the forces of gravity.
Like most Guidecraft products, there is a delightful aesthetic behind the design: Pastel colors, interesting textures, and a variety of shapes make this a toy one to be used again-and-again in different ways as your child's abilities level-up. A 20-piece set is also available ($32.99) Marked 18 months and up.
