This is the ideal larger-scale Magformers starter set for younger children, primarily in nursery and reception years. It contains 48 magnetic squares and 48 magnetic triangles in solid (opaque), bright crayon colours.

The set is simple to use and is designed for teaching shape and colour recognition and introducing early maths to pre-schoolers in a fun way, as they play.

With the pieces contained, children can make numerous simple 3D structures like pyramids and cubes. Childminders and teachers of younger children can also use the set to explore 2D shapes, expand them and explain the concepts of ‘smaller’ and ‘larger’, investigate symmetry and generally introduce and develop mathematical language in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Age Suitability: 3 Years +
