Hi all

Hope your all well :)

I took my 2 children to a science live place today and I have to admit it was great fun. Anyhoo they were playing with the magnetic hexagons shape thingys (individual pieces that you can place together to make shapes/patterns) and had lots of fun but is there a specific name for them as I cant find any on the net? I would love to get some for my mindees as I reckon they would create so many different shapes ect

Anybody know

Very similar Sarah but they were whole units IYSWIM? Imagine the hexagon shape as a whole and magnetic, differently coloured too :) There were triangle and circular shaped ones too
