Mechanics Gravity – Loops and Turns Fun:
If science steals the spotlight in your house, the Geomag Mechanics Gravity – Loops and Turns might be your ace. Sent to us as part of the review deal (because honesty is our compass), this STEM toy is a curiosity-stirrer.
What’s In The Box?
Around 120 pieces, 10 ball bearings, and a guide to science fun. It’s aimed at eight-year-olds and above, but trust me, a five-year-old named Cyrus mastered it with his Persian baba (daddy) in tow.
