A Construction toy comprising a set of construction elements, the construction toy comprising:

• a number of rods with magnetic ends, the rods having a longitudinal axis a primarily octagonal cross-section wherein the eight sides consist of four first sides and four second sides, the first sides and the second sides in an alternating arrangement, wherein the second sides each have two grooves extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and each groove adjacent one of the first sides, and
• a number of balls comprising a material that can interact magnetically with the ends of the rods;
• one or more preformed attachments, whereby the preformed attachments are each provided with a fastening clip, whereby the fastening clip has two opposing arms which extend primarily parallel to each other, wherein the arms are elastically deformable, wherein each arm has at least one rib, wherein the ribs are positioned on the sides of the arms facing the other arm;
• wherein the fastening clip is configured to be clipped onto opposing second sides of said rods, wherein, in a clipped state, the arms straddle one of said rods, with the ribs of the arms each being placed in said grooves;
• and
• wherein each magnetic end comprises an inner spherical depression surrounded by an outer tapered surface forming a bevel, the bevel extending from the spherical depression to the first sides and the second sides.
