What is a Magformer?

What is a Magformer?

What are Magformers? They are brightly colored plastic shapes with magnets in the edges. These magnets allow you to build in ways that regular blocks, or even Legos, do not allow.

What ages are Magformers for?

Product information

Are Magformers safe?

Magformers® are safety tested for ages 18M+. Warning: This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can cause complications leading to serious infections and death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.

Are Magformers and Magna-Tiles compatible?

NO! It is important to know that due to their hollow design magnet placement, Magformers are NOT compatible with Magnatiles, Picasso tiles, Connetix, or Playmags. Magformers has the magnets on the outer edge (the lip of each tile) while other tiles have them more on the face. They just don’t line up.

Where are Magformers made?

China
Product information

What are Magformers made of?

Magformers pieces incorporate neodymium magnets that are five times more powerful than conventional magnets used in other toys, and is a safe, magnetic educational tool that has passed European, American and Korean safety standards.

What size are Magformers?

Create 3D structures with the award winning Magformers.

Do magnets cause health problems?

The body is alive with electrical activity in the nerves and in the transport of ions between cells, and there can be measurable effects on the body when it is in the presence of a magnetic field. However, even strong magnetic fields don’t appear to cause any adverse effects on health in the long term.

Why can’t babies play with magnets?

This is because the magnets can pull together in your child’s digestive system with enough force to cause serious damage. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal agency that makes sure children’s toys and other consumer products are safe.

Can a magnet affect your brain?

Static magnetic fields have been shown to induce effects on the human brain. Different experiments seem to support the idea that moderate static magnetic field can exert some influence on the gating processes of the membrane channels.

Can magnets pull iron out of blood?

Iron is almost everywhere in our body but in tiny quantities. The amount of iron in an adult’s body put together is 3.5g. The iron contained in blood only is just 2g. This small amount is spread all over the body, so obviously, it isn’t greatly affected by the pull of magnets.

Are Magformers BPA free?

Magformers® are made to the highest quality. Each geometric magnetic shape is Sonic welded using BPA free HQABS and Neodymium magnets.

Are Magna-Tiles safe?

Since our products have been on the market, we haven’t had a safety incident or recall. Magna-Tiles® and Magna-Qubix® products are EN71, ASTM, and CPSIA approved and do not contain any BPA, phthalates, PVC, latex or toxic materials.

Do all magnetic tiles work together?

All three brands are compatible with each other and work well together when constructing.

Can magnets affect your heart?

Laboratory studies suggest that electric and magnetic field exposure may affect heart rate and heart rate variability. Epidemiologic evidence indicates that depressed heart rate variability is associated with reduced survival from coronary heart disease as well as increased risk of developing coronary heart disease.

Do magnets affect blood flow?

Researchers show that magnetic fields can reduce blood viscosity, a leading cause of heart attack and strokes. Two physicists searching for a novel way to prevent heart attacks and strokes have discovered that strong magnetic fields can dramatically reduce the thickness, or viscosity, of blood flowing through a tube.

Are Magna-Tiles toxic?

Magna-Tiles® and Magna-Qubix® products are EN71, ASTM, and CPSIA approved and do not contain any BPA, phthalates, PVC, latex or toxic materials. Ages 3+ Warning: This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can cause complications leading to serious infections and death.

Are Magna-Tiles safe for 2 year olds?

These durable tiles are built to provide years of quality use. The MAGNA-TILES Set is recommended for children ages 3 and older.

Do magnets help with anxiety?

Research has shown that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can reduce the symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder. TMS can help you get your life back. At Smart TMS, we have a treatment response rate of around 70%, with a high proportion of our patients going into remission.

Do magnets have healing powers?

Magnets have no healing properties. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) employs very strong magnetic fields, far stronger than a household magnet can produce, and yet MRI’s have no direct effect on the health of the patient (an MRI may have an indirect effect as a diagnostic tool).

How do magnets affect the heart?

Are red blood cells affected by magnets?

But because most of the blood in our bodies is made up of water (which is also diamagnetic) and oxygenated hemoglobin, our blood is, overall, diamagnetic, and therefore subtly repelled by magnetic fields.

Can a 2 year old play with Magna-Tiles?

Are MagnaTiles Safe for Toddlers. Yes, they are! The recommended age for Magna Tiles is three and up. If your kids are under three-year-old, they will need adult supervision when playing with MagnaTiles.

Can a 1 year old play with Magna-Tiles?

Magnetic Tiles

But trust when we say a 32-piece Magna-Tile set is worth the investment. The box says ages three and up, but we’ve watched kids as young as nine months explore and build with these magnetic blocks that form boxes, houses, castles, tractors…we could go on.

What does sleeping on magnets do?

Relief from chronic knee pain, back pain, headaches and migraines. Relief from the chronic pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Better blood circulation to accelerate the body’s natural healing cycle. Improved sleep patterns for a more restful night.
