The Geomag (779) Mechanics Challenge Strike
Geomag’s Mechanics Challenge Strike promotes STEM learning approach and helps with kids concentration as the toy teaches kids about the amazing world of magnets and mechanical construction with a super fun game.
This is a great toy to get kids to build the construction and then trust me, spend hours playing with it afterwards on their own or with the rest of the family. In addition to the classic magnetic rods and steel spheres, Geomag Mechanics adds mechanical elements within the constructions, expanding the play possibilities: some parts of the structures are able to rotate, triggering chain reactions from the magnetic attraction and repulsion.
Playing with Geomag means knowing and mastering the invisible forces of nature. With the help of Geomag magnets, the child will learn to use gravity to turn their magical motor, running the spheres up and down the track, all built on their own.
The kit comes with 185 individual parts and suitable for children aged 7 and above. This must-have Christmas gift is available from Coolshop for £49. An investment worth making for your child’s future.
