amomentwithfranca · 8 November 2022 · 113 Comments

We are so excited to receive a track set from GEOMAG to review which actually couldn’t come at a better time as we are looking for ideas for Christmas gifts for the girls. We got the Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns where you can build a circuit driven by the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity.

About GEOMAG

GEOMAG was invented and patented in 1998 in Switzerland. It was the first magnetic construction system with incredible performance. Simple elements, such as magnetic rods and metal spheres, are held together by a magical force of attraction to build amazing structures, unleashing creativity and imagination as you play.

Their products have been awarded the STEM-approved TM certification by stem.org affirming the quality and value of their toys. STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The GEOMAG series help children of all ages to develop imagination and curiosity through the science of magnetic constructions

They also care about the future of our environment so they make every effort to ensure they run a responsible and sustainable business using materials from recycled plastic.

About GEOMAG Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns Set

Mechanics is the construction platform that combines the forces of magnetism with a world of mechanical construction, to stimulate creativity, inventiveness and ingenuity. GEOMAG Mechanics adds mechanical elements within the constructions, so some parts of the structures are able to rotate, triggering chain reactions from the magnetic attraction and repulsion.

The magnetic cannon uses the force of attraction to accelerate and push the spheres. The movement is generated without the use of electric motors or batteries which is very cool to watch. You will learn the basics of magnetism and use them to create controlled magnetic reactions stimulating creativity, imagination and intellect. Impressive right?

Playing with GEOMAG means knowing and mastering the invisible forces of nature. With the help of GEOMAG magnets, you will learn to use gravity to turn your own magical motor, running the spheres up and down the track, all built by you.

GEOMAG Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns Key Features

  • Mechanical elements within the construction
  • Chain reactions from the magnetic attraction
  • Magnetic cannon
  • Elevator
  • Gravity Motor
  • STEM learning approach
  • Improves concentration
  • It is made from 74% recycled plastic

Building our GEOMAG Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns Set

Sienna was very happy to build this set which is aimed at 8 years old and above, so it was perfect for her. This set consists of 130 pieces that can easily be combined with each other.

Inside the packaging, we found the pieces to make:

  • Magnetic cannons
  • 360° loops
  • Parabolic curves
  • Gravity motors

The instruction booklet helps you to make the basic set but then you can make different sets so your kids can get their imagination rolling here.

Sienna wanted to build this set by herself but she struggled a little bit, so Nick and I guided her throughout the whole process. She got very excited through each stage. She was so impressed with the final results. It looked fantastic!

Each construction set can be combined with the rest of the Mechanics Gravity product line: GEOMAG – Mechanics Gravity Race Track, GEOMAG – Mechanics Gravity Vertical Motor and GEOMAG – Mechanics Gravity Elevator Circuit. The “Easy Combo” system allows you to build different models and connect them within just 3 moves.

The fun part was when Sienna was able to test the set. Watching the spheres running around the set going through the magnetic cannons and 360° loops. This was fascinating for Sienna.

Price and where to buy

The price is £34.99 and you can get it from good toy retailers such as The Entertainer and online such as Amazon.

Our Thoughts

This set is really fun to build. Sienna thought this was an impressive set. She was amazed at the end results. She spent hours after building it, dropping the spheres and watching them doing their magic around the track. Her favourite part was the 360° loops.

It makes it even more interesting that you can also expand the tracks with other compatible sets. I am sure this will be a great option for Christmas or birthdays.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road.

Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
