GEOCUBE is made of 2 x 25 multipositionable magnetic cubes with geometric shapes in different colors and includes patterns scale 1 with 7 pieces only as well as patterns in 2D and 3D till 25 pieces.
Educational benefits :
Recognition of geometric shapes and colors - Reproducing figures by assembling geometric shapes to match a pattern in 2D and 3D - Spatial orientation - Concept of background, plan, negative / positive - Notions of symmetry. Pixelation. Concepts of contrast and shadow - Notions of arts.
Description :Set of 2 x 25 reversible magnetic cubes printed with 5 geometric shapes composed of 1 isosceles triangle, 1 right triangle, 1 circle, 1 semi-circle and 1 quadrant allowing to realize predetermined models or make personal compositions.
Each cube is printed on 4 sides with the geometric shape based on a positive/negative color pair, ie black/white and white/black, red/white and white/red, pink/purple and purple/pink as well as orange/green and green/orange. The upper face of the cube is black while the underside is white.
How does it come?2 x 25 reversible magnetic cubes 50 x 50 x 50 mm (1.96 x 1.96 x 1.96 inches) printed on the 6 sides
16 model cards printed on both sides, more than 32 models.

Starting 18 th month:
Free play.Starting 2 years:
2D patterns scale 1 with 7 till 9 pieces.Starting 3 years:
2D patterns from 7, 9, 12 till 25 pieces.The players play first on the table or on the floor and then vertical by stacking the cubes in the right position to match the patterns.
Starting 5 years:
Then as building blocks to make complex models while appropriating geometric shapes and colors.
Tools provided:
Cards with scale 1 models for 7 and 9 cubes, then model cards for 16 and 25 cubes in horizontal or vertical play for one or two players.Description of activities:
To match a pattern. To identify colors. To recognize geometrical shapes. To play in cooperation or in competition.
