Arx is one rollickingly clever magnetic building toy.

Give an Arx piece a nudge and weebling and wobbling follows. Spin one around - simple play is here. Build with Arx… and know a fun new phenomenon for yourself.

When our staff created a large vertical question mark with magnetic Arx, we nodded our heads in agreement… Arx is fundamentally cool.

Stackable, slidable, attractable! Polished to perfection and genius too. Explore design, balance and the mystery of their magnetism!

A magnet rolls through each Arx piece, giving any builder the option of building in ways that defy common thought.

When the magnetic force between two Arx pieces meets- you’ll know it. You’ll feel the slight click as the magnets adhere. Now, you’ve found a new route for creative thinking!

Experiment with your inclinations. Design an Arx display horizontally on a table- or go up and out at angles that are seemingly impossible.

The magnetic capabilities of these beautiful crescent building pieces will send imagination over the moon.

Arx
  • An innovative new magnetic building block
  • Colorful magnetic arc-shaped pieces sway, combine, and mesmerize
  • Explore design, balance and the power of magnetism
  • A magnet rolls in each Arx piece allowing for surprising constructions
  • Build at seemingly impossible angles
  • Gleaming shades of green, red, orange, and blue
  • 24 Versatile magnetic pieces
  • Building base included (optional for building)
  • High quality plastic construction

    Please Note: Arx is purposefully designed with low power magnets. Children are required to think critically and work carefully to help the magnets find each other and attract. Building more than just random configurations - Arx builds logic, persistence and imagination.




    NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

    Review for Arx
    Posted 3/14/2013 by Elizabeth Halper

    Magnets are not strong enough. Returned product and bought magformers instead- those are a hit!
    Rating: 2
    Both Arx and Magformers are wonderful products. Arx is purposefully designed with lower power magnets rolling within inner channels. Thinking critically and working carefully is a prerequisite to creating clever configurations. Magformers are an "any way works" magnetic building toy requiring less experimentation and problem solving for success.

    Product review of Arx
    Posted 2/6/2013 by Mr Stephen Wayne Herring

    The magnetic power in these blocks is practically nil. I couldn't even get them to stay together.

    Kids do not like it
    Posted 1/27/2013 by Alberto Miranda

    This was a bad choice. I purchased Arx because my kids love to explore and solve challenging puzzles and toys and they love building blocks. For some reason they do not like this toy. After I played with them for a couple of hours I have to with my kids. They do not like it.

    My rating of Arx
    Posted 1/17/2013

    Not too impressed. I didn't feel it did what it said it would, the magnets had a hard time sticking together. At 23 years of age I was frustrated because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted... how would a 5 year old feel? So I returned it to Fat Brain. Very good about returns... they are everything they claim to be.

    Great colors, great shapes. The fact that the pieces were magnetic was a BIG plus and got the adults interested in playing with the Arx, as well.
