Magnetic Blocks : Puzzle construction toy based on mathematics and scientific principles of organization | ||
|
Geometix has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Geospace for the MagneBlocks line of toys. Warren Scott Fentress, founder of Geometix International and inventor of Magne Blocks, commented: "MagneBlocks are the next generation of magnetic construction toys. It's a more versatile system than the popular 'stick and ball' magnet sets, and the systems work together. There's also a puzzle component, something the stick and ball sets don't have. The toy is based on sacred geometry and Synergetics, which is the mathematics of how nature organizes itself." Fentress added: "MagneBlocks are a great cross-generational toy that subconsciously teaches mathematical and physical principles in a fun, engaging and fascinating way. Imagine Lego meets Rubik's Cube and you've got a great alternative to video games." Dennis Binkley, President of Geospace International noted: "MagneBlocks are a natural extension of what we do and we are very excited to carry this breakthrough toy. MagneBlocks blends well within our portfolio of educational toy products." Geospace, a distributor and developer of breakthrough toys for the past decade, is launching Magniblocks with a series of packaged collection styles plus two large sets with carrying cases. The toy set swill cost between $7.99 and $99.99 and will be available at FAO Schwarz stores and online at MagneBlocks. | ||
