Discover a molecule so exciting, it's the state molecule of Texas.
Named after R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome, "BuckyBall" is the nickname for a Carbon 60 molecule. Like the faces of a soccer ball, it has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. A great science project, complete with fun facts to know and tell.
Includes:
150 total parts
60 black nodes
90 short blue struts
AGES 6 to ADULT. Swallowing danger. Not for children under 3 years of age.
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

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 10 years of age.

Got this for my college age daughter - a chemistry major - who just loves this item! She uses it for demos and in tutoring other students.
Almost great

This would have been the hit for my son - had it not been for the missing rod that would have completed his Bucky Ball. The first thing he created was a salt crystal (cube), then he added to it to make a giant salt crystal. Too bad he couldn't complete the full model.

Bucky Ball soon to be complete! A replacement rod will be shipped to our customer. For top-notch assistance, visit our Returns & Exchanges center.

I'm a teacher and ordered the Bucky Ball to help my students understand the concept. It is so much fun to put together! I do have a few pieces that slip out of the joint connectors, but for the most part, I am thrilled. It is very cool looking, and the kids can't wait to get their hand on it!

Zome Tool - Bucky Ball Kit

My friend's son loved this gift. Out of all the presents he received, including the latest electric gizmos, he spent at least two hours playing with this toy. Once all the hubbub settled down and the gornwups were drinking cofee, he sat down with us at the table and just created shape upon shape. A budding architecxt perhaps!!
