Geomag Magicube Word Building Clips 55 Piece Magnetic Building Set

Geomag Education is the Geomag line for learning while having fun! Word Building stimulates creativity by helping children to play with letters to create words. Stick the magnetic pieces of Word Building on your Magicube blocks and start playing! Geomag Magicube is a construction platform created by Geomag, a leading magnetic toy company. Geomag has re-invented the building game with cubes making it incredibly fun and above all magical! In fact, the cubes are able to stick together on any side. So they can even be suspended! In this way the constructions become surprising but also easy to make just for everyone, even for very young children.

A simple, magical system, just like all our magnetic constructions at Geomag and also kind to the environment as they are made using 100% recycled plastic!

I love Geomag Magicube and believe all children should have some, these earn extra points for helping children with their word building.
