How to choose a magnetic designer for girls?

Magnetic designers appeared on the market not so long ago, but over the course of several years they managed to gain full recognition as simple and interesting educational toys for children of different ages. Sets on magnets, like most other types of designers, are designed primarily for either boyish or neutral children's interests. However, many parents would like to choose a kit that is suitable for the girl.

The choice of such products is more modest, but if you approach the purchase with full responsibility, you can choose a very good option.

Since the magnetic constructor is notable for its extremely simple connection of parts, it practically has no age limits. However, experts still do not recommend buying such products to kids under 1 year old. In infancy, children simply do not have enough hand motility to collect anything. But for a child aged 1-3 years, such a set will be one of the best solutions. He will allow the child to construct various compositions and to get acquainted with the interesting effect of magnetism.

Magnetic designers for children up to 3 years, like many other toys, are usually not classified by gender (they do not have pronounced boyish or girlish traits). In other words, parents can choose with confidence any set recommended for children of this age. It will surely consist of neutral magnetic sticks and metal balls that are interconnected. Of the famous manufacturers of such products should highlight the brands Smartmax and Kribly Boo.

Recommendations on the packaging say a lot to the consumer, but parents of young children are obliged to independently verify how the details of the set correspond to the stated age.

When selecting, you should evaluate the quality of manufacturing products. Parts must not have pointed ends, not to mention any mechanical defects. Finally, you need to pay attention to the size of the parts. They must be large enough so that they cannot be swallowed, placed in the nose or in the ear, which the kids often try to do.

Besides, It is better to give preference only to proven manufacturers and retail outlets. High quality requirements affect the cost of such kits. However, it’s not worth saving on baby's safety.

With age, the child develops and requires more and more complex tasks, which affects the characteristics of toys. For children aged 5-7 years, sets of designers on magnets may already differ by gender. Although the differences are not so obvious, and most magnetic sets are neutral, the choice of models available is somewhat expanding.

Magnetic constructor is traditionally considered plastic, but the company Genii Creation produces a wooden version of this set. The kit is suitable for assembling a toy playground or other nice structure with a simple construction. This option is suitable for both boys and girls, as it does not have a pronounced sexual orientation.

The manufacturer's products are highly valued due to the extreme simplicity of assembly and the ability to place other toys in the finished "house".They criticize the set relatively rarely, and the only disadvantage is the high cost. Brand products are not found in all stores and does not have cheap Chinese counterparts.

The time of the Smartmax designers mentioned above has not yet passed, although it is time to choose more complicated sets. If the baby already has the simplest set of this brand, you can purchase a set that includes elements in the form of flower petals. Also on sale is a set of "Flower Palace", which includes not only the petals, but also the main elements. Alternatively, you can purchase a set of "Home Sweet Home", designed to build houses (for this there are windows and doors).

Unlike the previous designer, buy Smartmax much easier. It is sold in almost all children's stores and costs a little less. Another nice bonus is the mutual complementarity of all sets of this brand. From the analogs, you can select a high-quality Swiss Geomag with smaller details, which is suitable for children from 5-6 years (but not for younger children). This manufacturer often produces glowing designers who like girls very much.

From preschool age, the designer’s assembly of a very popular manufacturer Magformers is also available to children. The brand is so much in demand that it already has a lot of cheaper Chinese counterparts. Among them are quite high-quality options (Mag Building and others), and products are not very high level.

Standard parts look like hollow plastic plastic shapes inside in different colors. However, for babies of preschool age, sets like “Princess Set” are also released, which allow you to assemble a full-fledged palace for a little princess. Although the original is expensive, but a set of dozens of details is very interesting. In addition, in stores you can easily find a similar designer at a more reasonable price.

After starting school, children are becoming increasingly interested in complex assembly options. Often they perceive the designer no longer as a game, but as a fascinating process of creating something interesting. The rather high complexity and plausibility of the hand-made articles comes to the fore. Therefore, magnetic designers gradually recede into the background, giving way to block sets.

However, for lovers of precisely magnetic parts, suitable kits also exist. They are represented in the collections of most of the aforementioned manufacturers.

For girls of school age should choose sets with lots of details. However, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the child. Active and restless schoolgirls are unlikely to enjoy such a gift, because the assembly will take a lot of time. In addition, a complex assembly involves a high level of mental development. Therefore, if the child has not previously shown much interest in the design, you should not buy such a set.

Large magnetic constructors for assembling locks are sold in any children's store. They are also easy to find on the Internet, but it should be borne in mind that Due to the specific parts, kits from different manufacturers are usually incompatible with each other. Although even one large set may well be enough for an interesting game.

The assembled palace can be used as a “dwelling” for dolls. And in the process of building such a “dwelling”, the baby will be able to develop a number of useful skills (imagination, fantasy, spatial thinking, coordination of movements, as well as an analytical mindset). A set with many details is good and allows for some flexibility in modeling.
