JollyHeap Extra Magnetic Block Expansion Set

JollyHeap Extra Magnetic Block Expansion Set adds new shapes and new building possibilities to an existing JollyHeap collection. Available in 16 or 32-piece options, each set introduces truncated blocks and pyramids, allowing children to create slopes, roofs, peaks and more complex structures.

Unlike the core JollyHeap sets, which are built around cubes and triangles, the Extra sets introduce the third and fourth JollyHeap shapes. All blocks connect magnetically with other JollyHeap sets, making them an easy way to expand an existing collection without purchasing another full core set.

Extra blocks can also be used independently as a compact construction set. Strong neodymium magnets are securely sealed inside each block, while the high-resilience foam and durable fabric exterior keep the blocks soft, lightweight and suitable for active play.

Children can lift, carry, connect, separate and reposition the pieces, combining construction and imaginative play with movement, resistance and problem-solving.

Key Features

• Choice of two expansion sizes – select Extra 16 or Extra 32 depending on the number of additional blocks required
• Adds two different JollyHeap shapes – truncated blocks and pyramids introduce new construction possibilities
• Extra 16 – includes 8 truncated blocks and 8 pyramids
• Extra 32 – includes 16 truncated blocks and 16 pyramids
• Creates more complex structures – ideal for slopes, roofs, peaks, steps and architectural details
• Fully compatible with JollyHeap – connects magnetically with blocks from all other JollyHeap sets
• Can also be used independently – suitable for compact standalone construction play
• Soft foam construction – high-resilience polyurethane foam returns to shape after use
• Hidden magnetic connections – strong neodymium magnets are permanently sealed inside the blocks
• Encourages active play – children can lift, carry, connect, separate and reposition the blocks
• Open-ended construction – supports creativity, experimentation and problem-solving without a fixed outcome
• Quiet play – the soft blocks connect with a gentle click and fall more quietly than traditional hard construction toys
• Machine washable – complete blocks can be washed at 30°C
• Suitable from 12 months
• EN 71-1, EN 71-2 and EN 71-3 compliant and CE marked
• Handmade in Poland

Sensory Benefits

• Proprioceptive input – lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling and separating the blocks encourages children to use their muscles and joints during active play.
• Resistance and movement – pulling magnetically connected blocks apart provides controlled resistance through the hands, arms and shoulders.
• Whole-body construction play – the large block size encourages children to reach, bend, carry and move around their creations rather than keeping construction confined to a tabletop.
• Lower-noise play – the soft foam and fabric help reduce the clatter associated with hard construction toys.

SEN Benefits

• Motor planning – truncated blocks and pyramids encourage children to work out how less familiar shapes can be positioned and combined.
• Problem-solving – the additional shapes introduce new construction challenges and different ways to complete a structure.
• Spatial awareness – supports exploration of slopes, angles, orientation, balance and how shapes relate to one another.
• Gross motor development – lifting, carrying and positioning the large blocks encourages purposeful use of the arms, shoulders, core and larger muscle groups.
• Cause and effect – magnetic connections provide clear feedback as blocks attract, connect and separate.
• Flexible, open-ended play – pieces can be incorporated into familiar builds or used to inspire completely new designs.
• Extends familiar play – adding different shapes introduces extra challenge while keeping the familiar JollyHeap magnetic building system.
• Co-operative play – larger collections can support shared planning, communication and collaborative building.

Why Buy the JollyHeap Extra Expansion Set?

The Extra expansion sets offer a more useful way to extend a JollyHeap collection than simply adding more cubes and triangles. Both options introduce truncated blocks and pyramids, giving children additional shapes to experiment with and allowing more detailed structures to be created.

The truncated blocks can be used for slopes, steps, walls and architectural details, while the pyramids are ideal for roofs, peaks and more organic forms. This makes the Extra sets particularly useful for children who have already explored simpler JollyHeap builds and are ready for new construction challenges.

Extra 16 is a practical choice for adding a smaller number of specialist pieces, while Extra 32 doubles the quantity for larger collections, group play and more ambitious builds.

Although designed primarily as expansion sets, both sizes can also be used independently for compact construction, sensory and imaginative play.

Important Magnetic Safety Information

WARNING: This product contains strong neodymium magnets sealed inside the blocks. The blocks must not be opened, cut or deliberately damaged. Swallowed magnets can cause serious internal injury.

Strong magnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers, hearing aids, electronic or medical devices and may affect magnetic cards, storage media and some electronic equipment. Appropriate distance should be maintained from magnet-sensitive devices.

Inspect the blocks regularly and remove any damaged block from use. Adult supervision is recommended, particularly for younger children and individuals who may attempt to bite, tear or open products.
