Magformers for Developing Creativity and
Imagination
Magformers is the best 3D educational toy for helping children develop creativi-
ty and imagination. Assemble a variety of geometric shapes to create your own
Magformers models. While seeing the 2D shapes change into 3D gures, chil-
dren can understand the principle of magnets while growing their imagination
and creativity.
Characteristics of Magnets and
Principle of Magformers
Magnets have N and S poles. Two magnets will be attracted by their opposite
poles, and each will repel the like pole of the other magnet. Magformers have
magnets embedded inside that rotate on an axis to allow them to attach in an
innite number of ways. This gives children the advantage of connecting shapes
in 3D, not just on top of each other.

What is Magformers
S.T.E.A.M Master Set?
Magformers S.T.E.A.M Master Set comes with magnetic pieces in basic geometric shapes and various accessories
that add detail to the models. To design your own imaginative models with magnetic pieces, connect the Power
Block to make them move in various ways. While playing with the moving Power Block and the Reective Block
to experience the principle of light reection, children can equally develop their scientic, technological, engi-
neering, artistic and mathematical thinking, and take a step closer to becoming well rounded.

Educational Effects of
Magformers According to Age
A critical period that forms 80% of brain development. Through various
sensory stimulation activities and nger movements, the brain and ner-
vous system are developed.
Educational Effects
● Visual stimuli with the rich colors and shapes of Magformers
● Auditory stimuli with the clear sound of shapes attaching and detaching
● Developing recognition of colored shapes and distinction of different colored shapes
● Fostering coordination of eyes and hands while holding, attaching and detaching
Magformers
● Developing gross and ne motor skills while moving arms, hands and ngers
A period when self-reliance and independence is developed, which caus-
es behavior based on accomplishment. The ability to think and express
themselves is developed, and creative and unique play is possible.
Educational Effects
● Learning the basis of mathematics such as parts and wholes, response and patterns while
combining Magformers and making models
● Conception of geometric relationships and space by understanding shape and size com
parison, direction and location of right, left, top and bottom
● Fostering creativity, problem solving skills, self-reliance and a sense of accomplishment
while planning and creating on their own
● Developing verbal expression while expressing planned and nished models
A period to passionately explore objects. While operating surrounding
objects, curiosity increases. Symbolic thinking is developed, and imagi-
native and virtual play forms are displayed overall.
Educational Effects
● Improving ability to operate objects by developing hand control
● Fostering divergent thinking, imagination and creativity while making desired
shapes
● Developing modeling capability while creating a form or shape, and understanding
symmetry, conguration, area and lines
A period that enables concrete thinking about objects and specic re-
production regarding the surrounding world that they experience. In this
process, observation and analytical skills relating to objects, and logical
thinking are developed.
Educational Effects
●
Developing observation, analytical and thinking skills while reproducing various surrounding
objects
● Developing spatial perception skills while shaping buildings or making 3D models
● Developing reasoning, logic and thinking skills while predicting and representing invisible form
● Developing creative problem solving skills while making and combining complex objects
●
Forming geometric concepts, acquiring mathematical knowledge and approaching science

Pipe Connector
● The Pipe Connector is connected as below and helps inside connectors to be attached securely.
The Pipe Connector supports the Connector so it can be attached securely.
Engine Cube
The Engine Block has an ‘engine’ to receive energy from the Power Generator to shine and rotate, but the
Engine Cube doesn’t have any engines. Like the Lighthouse, it can only rotate when connected to the En-
gine Block and Connector. When the Power Generator is directly connected to the Engine Cube, it turns
on the LED light without rotating.
●
Blocks shown below can be attached to the Magformers square or mini rectangle on each side. In some cases,
if Magformers are placed between blocks, the blocks become securely attached.
