The Geomag MAGICUBE system is a fun and a great educational toy for kids from an early age on (1+). The system made in Switzerland is incredibly versatile, allowing kids to use their imagination and engage in several different styles of play. The cubes themselves are really well constructed and somewhat durable with the colours actually painted rather than stickers used. And... the best is it is all 100% made of recycled plastic which we are sure you love as much as we do!! The new 'Little World Set' includes not only colourful blocks for building characters, animals and buildings. It has all the tools for building vehicles with wheels that magnetically attach to the blocks. A simple, magical system! But please note: the vehicles, because they are held together by magnets, will not "drive" as a rigid toy vehicle does. It's about making things that look like vehicles, not making working vehicles. What it contains19 magnetic pieces in 3 shapes, various colours, plus 2 axis and 4 wheels. Feel great about where it comes from Raw materials from Europe?
