Why Magnetix are such a great construction toy...

Some things to consider when buying a toy construction kit for your child.  For years, Legos have been our mainstay when it comes to teaching our children hand eye coordination, creativity and streching the imagination.  Several years ago, a company designed what wuld become the underdog initially in a really new/old technology... They designed a toy that used one of the oldest science ideas of all time, the use of magnets and incorporated it with steel balls to make a great construction toy.

so... why do Magnetix work so well when your child is ready for a construcion toy.

Lets consider what children see when they first touch Magnetix.  For the first time, your child will experience magnetic pull (magnetic polarization).  Magnetic polarization is where the magnets either push apart from each other or attract to each.  We as adults, take magnetisim for granted becasue we have been through school... just for a minute, put yourself in a 6 or 7 year old child.  They have never seen magnetisim... consider that... NEVER seen it... So for the first two hours, they are going to sit there and just tinker to figure it out.  After that, and for the next 4 to 5 years, they will continue to build bigger and more elaborate deisgns and structures.  Anyone that has had a set of Maagnetix will admit that is exactly what happens.  Hours of enjoyment and learning all in one.
