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.

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.
