Directions for Buckyballs

Need a new distraction to keep in a nearby drawer for those important times during work and study when you need a break? How about a way to relieve stress or stimulate your imagination and creativity? Just bored and wanting something to do with your idle hands? Buckyballs are the perfect way to accomplish all of these things. This magnetic construction toy is named after Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller, the American engineer credited with designing the geodesic dome, a shape which just happens to be one of the endless Buckyballs design ideas. This set of 216 5mm spherical rare earth magnets can keep even the most stymied of adults occupied for hours of childlike joy and wonderment.

Buckyballs

Instructions

- 1
  Order a set of Buckyballs for $29.95 plus $5.95 shipping and handling.
- 2
  Open the Buckyballs packaging when they arrive at your house or apartment. Set aside the plastic carrying case included with your Buckyballs for storing your Buckyballs after you are done playing.
- 3
  Mold the Buckyballs into any shape you want. Choose from geometric patterns, random shapes or common items. Feel free to aggressively mash the Buckyballs together as a stress reliever. The powerful magnetic force will keep them attached to one another unless you pry them apart for use in more of your tiny constructions. Form them into a pyramid or sphere, or make just a long line of Buckyballs to dangle and sway. The important thing is to have fun.
