A toy designed to stimulate multi-dimensional spatial awareness includes a set of individual modules that can be magnetically joined together to form a variety of complex structures. Each module includes a cone and a plurality of magnets coupled to the cone in an equidistantly spaced apart arrangement. The cone is preferably a right angle cone that includes a circular base and a inwardly tapering sidewall that together define an interior cavity that is externally accessible through the circular base. Six modules can magnetically joined together in a cube-like structure with the base circle for each module lying in the plane defined by a corresponding face of the structure. By providing each module with unique indicia, such a particular color, pattern, symbol or alphanumeric marking, the resulting structure can serve as the foundation for numerous varieties of game-like puzzles.
