What is Geomag?<\/h2>\n

Geomag is a magnetic construction toy range that can be put together and pulled apart again in a huge number of ways. Kids can choose to copy the model examples or design their own unique constructions, allowing for creative, open-ended play.<\/p>\n

There are various ‘types’ of Geomag, and within each type, there are various sets to suit differing budgets. The two ‘types’ of Geomag that I’m reviewing today are Geomag Color and Geomag Glitter.<\/p>\n

Geomag Color<\/h3>\n

Geomag Color is is the original ‘classic’ Geomag toy consisting of magnetic rods (in various colours), non-magnetic metal balls and various accessories. It comes in five sets containing between 30-120 pieces.<\/p>\n

\"Geomag<\/p>\n

I’m reviewing this 30 piece box set, which contains 13 x magnetic rods (in yellow and orange), 16 x metal balls and 1 x orange square base platform. It’s available online from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.<\/p>\n
