Mom-Finds: MAGFORMERS Magnetic Construction Toy

It's not the last Friday of the month yet but I'm already sharing my latest Mom-Finds with you, kasi I am not yet done with Christmas shopping and I'm sure many of you are still on the hunt for that perfect present to give to your kids or inaanaks, nieces or nephews. I can't wait for end of the month to post this new discovery, and given my history on blogging in December, my regular Friday theme is out the window. So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the newest toy on the block - MAGFORMERS!



What is MAGFORMERS?

"MAGFORMERS, developed in 2005 as a 3D magnetic educational toy, enhances children's creativity and brain development. MAGFORMERS is the world's largest magnetic construction toy which is being distributed in 37 countries worldwide."

Thank you, Jaimee Frondoso, for bringing MAGFORMERS to the Philippines.


I was recently invited to a product demo cum get-together with my fellow blogging mamas by the local distributor of MAGFORMERS in the Philippines. I tell you, all of us were instantly amazed as soon as they started creating and showing us the finished 3D toy. You'd hear lots of "wow" and "ang galing" from the moms, hahahaha! I was definitely sold.

There were several demo videos to watch and these are just some of the on-the-spot creations of the moms who easily and successfully finished the toy just by watching the video. We were all in awe of this innovative product from Korea. 

 


MAGFORMERS is internationally recognized as an educational toy
 for creative mathematics. Awesome, right? 


Why we like MAGFORMERS:
  • It's cool and unique -- for kids and adults!
  • Offers endless fun and possibilities, allowing kids to create their own 3D figures
  • Lots of sets and design ideas to play with
  • Highly educational
    • A 3D toy that promotes creativity and imagination, enhances brain development
    • Kids can turn 2D shapes into 3D geometric structures
    • Can recognize mathematical principles while at play
    • Can be used as teaching / learning tool
    • Supports the S.T.E.M. and S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, math) educational program
  • Safe, durable, and easy to handle
  • Strong magnetic feature
  • Ideal gift for children

    I went home with MAGFORMERS sets and I was so excited to show it to the kids. I told the boy that he can play with it immediately and we'll use the MAGFORMERS for his math lessons, which covers topics like fractions, angles, ratio, geometry.  

    This is a perfect educational tool for homeschoolers like my boy. Learning will be so much fun with MAGFORMERS. Highly recommended! 



    As soon as we opened the boxes, he was at it for hours -- yes, hours. He started before lunch and kept creating until the girl arrived from school after lunch. He forgot all about his iPad. The girl got hooked as well, making her own 3D toys and siyempre, they were fighting over the magnet shapes na! Hehehe...  

    Be sure to watch the videos! You'll be amused at what MAGFORMERS can do. Nakakaaliw panoorin, promise! Moms and dads will surely try to play with it too. Nakaka-challenge to create the different models. I'm sure you'll be amazed at this "intelligent magnetic construction toy" for kids of all ages that you'd want to run to the stores and buy your own sets to play with.


    Here are the boy's creations, with variations from the designs he saw in the enclosed manual.
    He also shared a video below.

    The girl had her own plans with the MAGFORMERS. 

    Her Littlest Pet Shop toys got a new house and a car! =) 

     She also followed the video on how to make the ball.
    Never give up on the ball... =) 



    If I were to be in full control of what toys to give or buy, I'd go for educational toys that are interesting, fun, well-made, and can spark creativity from the kids. My boy and girl have more than enough toys on top of the gadgets they often play with. But we can't really stop people from giving toys, and the kids will never stop asking for them either. So, if you're going to ask...well, go ahead and give my kids more MAGFORMERS! =)

    Add MAGFORMERS to your Christmas gift list now and make lots of children (and parents) very happy!
