This Magnetic Sphera and Wheels Set includes 152 pieces and offers an exciting and dynamic way for children to explore the principles of STEM through open-ended magnetic construction. It combines three sets in one: the Magnetic Construction Shape Set (108 pieces), the Magnetic Polydron Sphera (36 pieces), and an 8-piece magnetic wheels set. With these components, children can build 3D structures and introduce movement into their designs, exploring how force, direction, and design interact.
The Magnetic Polydron Sphera allows for the construction of spherical and curved models using 7 different shapes. The addition of rotating wheels and hubs transforms static builds into mobile creations, enhancing experimentation and engagement with real-world physics and motion. Each piece features a coloured side and a black side to easily distinguish magnetic polarity, supporting intuitive learning through hands-on discovery.
Perfect for early childhood and primary settings, this set supports foundational STEM concepts including geometry, magnetism, motion, and design. Children are introduced to how different shapes can work together to create both angular and curved structures, while also observing the relationship between shape and stability, and exploring cause and effect with the addition of wheels.
Kit Includes:
108-piece Magnetic Construction Shape Set (ZZ1020) - Includes standard magnetic Polydron shapes in assorted colours
36-piece Magnetic Polydron Sphera Set (ZZ1110)
8-piece Magnetic Wheels Add-On Set
Educational Benefits:
Builds understanding of geometric concepts, including both flat and curved shapes
Introduces mechanical reasoning through moving parts and wheel-based constructions
Develops critical thinking and design skills through open-ended construction
Strengthens awareness of polarity and magnetic principles through tactile learning
Classroom Activity Ideas:
Challenge children to design a moving vehicle and test it on different surfaces
Create a sorting task using shapes from the Sphera set to identify and classify geometry
Build spherical objects and compare them to everyday round items in the room
Explore symmetry by constructing mirrored or rotating patterns using coloured pieces
Safety & Information:
Suitable for ages 3 years and over
Magnetic Sphera shapes vary in size; examples include sphere segments and cylinders (smallest approx. 5cm, largest approx. 10cm)
Wheels set includes 4 wheels and 4 hubs; pieces rotate freely
All pieces feature concealed internal magnets for smooth, safe construction
Compatible with all Magnetic Polydron sets except Mega Mag
