2005 & 2006 TOY AWARD WINNER! Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award (Top Honor). Oppenheim SNAP (Special Needs Adaptable Product) Award Winner.
Now younger children can experience the fun and mystery of magnetic construction! Similar concept to popular sets made for older kids, Magneatos jumbo-sized pieces are designed for small hands and huge imaginations. Magneatos create a new arena of creative play for young children.
If you are the parents of a special needs child, or if you, like us, cherish visits from these extraordinary individuals, you know finding suitable playthings can be a challenge. Magneatos large size makes them easy to grasp and manipulate even when dexterity is an issue. The magnets in the rods and the steel in the balls helps them to 'stick' together, allowing both the young and the less skilled to reposition them with minimal frustration. When we first received our set, we had all sorts of grandiose structures we tried to build with them, but like all magnet sets, 3-D structures are nearly impossible unless it is built with a triangle in mind. So Magneatos will not only introduce your child to the laws of magnetism but also the foundations of geometry and physics. The magnets are not too strong for tiny hands to pull apart, nor do you need to worry about tender flesh being pinched between the magnets. There are no instructions that come with the Magneatos, because the designers were striving for open-ended exploration rather than a right or wrong way of using the set.
