Parenting Pointers: Building Skills with Magnetic Blocks

Since 1998 Geomag has been creating award-winning and STEM-enriched toys that help children’s playtime become enriched with educational principles. Geomag’s 2021 range of Magicube toys is the perfect addition to children’s playtime. Magicube is a unique building block system made up of magnetic cubes that attach to each other on all six sides and are made entirely from 100% recycled plastics.   

Magnetic blocks can help kids of all ages work on a variety of skills.


  • STEM - sorting, classification, building, positioning, logic, counting, size, problem-solving and more
  • Physical - manipulating smaller bricks for a specific goal, building fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
  • Character traits - creativity, perseverance, goal-setting

There's a reason blocks and similar toys can be found in nearly every type of preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary classroom, no matter what the educational approach is (traditional, Montessori, etc). They are also often used by specialists in fields like occupational therapy to help work with refining and building individual skills. Plus, they're fun for kids! Even my older kids enjoyed the set that we got. Building is almost a universally fun activity.

New 2021 items in the Magicube range are made from 100% recycled plastic giving assurances to parents that children are playing with eco-friendly toysMagicube is available in sets that have 6 pieces to 64 pieces in a range of styles and themes that can all be mixed and joined together meaning the Magicube grows with your child. The Magicube Shapes 32 Piece Set can be found at Target.com at a price of $49.99
