Improve your coordination! Based on the rhombic triacontahedron, this ball consists of 30 magnetic pyramid shaped pieces that act as building blocks. Each individual piece of the Ball of Whacks is a patent pending "golden ratio" rhombic pyramid. The pyramid's base is a golden rhombus. That means the ratio of its long diagonal to its short diagonal is 1.618, otherwise known as the "golden ratio." The other important proportion of each block's shape is the height of the pyramid. The height of the pyramid as measured from the rhombus base centroid (the point at which the two base diagonals intersect) to its apex is approximately 1.309 times the length of the short diagonal in the rhombus base. Each building block has magnets embedded in its interior faces. This means that the pieces will stick together magnetically. The user can build various shapes and designs with the blocks. The set of building blocks can be used as a creativity tool, toy, puzzle, game, display device, and cognitive stimulant. More versatile than a puzzle, the pieces can be taken apart and rearranged in endless ways. Also included is a pocket sized book which will lead you through a variety of tips, strategies and exercises.
Brain Health Expert Product Review "To be successful with this activity requires the ability to manipulate small objects, follow directions, problem solve, plan ahead, and use abstract thinking skills. This would also be a fun way to decrease stress and unwind after a busy day at the office." -Occupational Therapist
Customer Review "My five year old daughter likes taking it apart and putting it back together in all different ways. The first day, she spent hours and hours with it! It gives her a different perspective on how different shapes are formed."
