Magnetic Balls, 216 Pieces, 3 mm, Metal, Multicolor or Silver, Magnetic Beads Sculpture-Building Set | Sansoti

216 3 mm magnetic balls for building

This set of magnetic balls consists of 216 metal spheres measuring 3 mm — small enough to build fine structures, yet strong enough to keep them standing. With 216 pieces, you can move beyond making flat shapes: build cubes, pyramids and spheres, then roll them back into a strand. The magnetic attraction does the work; you decide the shape. If you like keeping your hands busy while your mind is elsewhere, this works better than any app.

Specifications of this set

• 216 balls per set: enough to fill a complete 6×6×6 cube and build from there.
• 3 mm diameter: a fine scale for detailed shapes rather than coarse constructions.
• Metal: a sturdy finish that retains its magnetic strength and shine with intensive use.
• Multicolored or silver: color for patterns and contrast, silver for a clean construction.
• Geometric building: works with symmetry, planes and solid shapes — geometry at your fingertips.
• Compact and portable: the entire set fits in your fist and slips into a jacket pocket or laptop bag.

For hands that like to stay busy while you think

The difference between 216 balls and a handful is that with 216, you can actually finish something. Roll out a strand, set it on your desk and build a shape that stands in just a few minutes; start again at your next conference call. The silver version looks most understated on a desk, while the multicolored set is better for working with patterns. At just 3 mm, all the constructions stay compact enough to keep beside your keyboard. Please note: these are small, strong magnets and are emphatically not a toy for young children — keep the set out of their reach.
