Playmags are flat, transparent and colourful plastic building blocks. Each block is framed with built-in magnets that will connect with any other block to form colourful structures.

The 60-piece set contains 1 x Connecting Car, 2 x Large Square (6" x 6"), 31 x Small Square (3" x 3"), 4 x Window (3" x 3"), 10 x Small Triangle (3" x 3"), 4 x Medium Triangle (3" x 4"), 8 x Tall Triangle (3" x 5.5") and 2 x Large Square (6" x 6”), in a selection of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple..

Playmags shapes and patterns provide a good use of motor skills and encourages imaginative and creative play whilst enhancing math, geometry, and science skills without your children realising they are learning. The magnets are strong enough to hold a structure, but you still need to be gentle when moving them about or creating taller structures as they will fall apart. I quite liked this, as it encouraged our little test subject to concentrate when he was building with them. However, this could become a source of frustration for some children (and some adults).

Once the model is assembled there isn’t much you can do with it other than look at it, smash it down and start again. It would be good if there were more accessories to make it more of a plaything. Due to the simplicity of the shapes and assembly, this could be too limiting to hold some children’s attention for long, but it fascinated our subject group of three-six year olds, as well as encouraging group play with other children and adults alike.
