Ball and Stick Construction sets

Friedrich Froebel developed ball and stick construction systems as active play materials for children, which extend and develop the skills gained by playing with blocks. Modern designers have created these construction sets using modern materials like plastic and magnets to enhance the possibilities for creative and imaginative play.

Geometric forms such as cubes, tetrahedra, octahedra and square pyramids may be formed. The possiblities for construction and creative play include making spaces from imaginative play.

each set contains: 25 balls, about 2 inches in diameter and 44 sticks, about 16 inches long.

Super Magz

Stronger magnets and longer bars.

The bars contain much more powerful magnets to build sturdier structures. When making Super Magz, quality was the main incentive. Because Super Magz contains larger bars (1.75 inches or 4.5 cm), it also has more powerful magnets.

Create structures of amazing strength and complexity in two and three dimensions.
