Creative Play with Magnets
The holidays are over and all of our gifts have either been put away or returned to the store. However, during the holidays, I tend to reminisce about Christmases past and I got to thinking about my nieces and nephews when they were young children.
My one nephew in particular wanted a particular type of building set one year that, after it was put together, created a cool pirate ship. I was a poor college student at the time and the $40 price tag seemed like an awful lot. I just had to get it for him though, it was what he wanted and I knew it was such a fabulous toy. You see, kids can actually learn things from their toys, especially the construction, creative toys such as a building set.
My nieces and nephews are all grown up now and some even have children of their own. Soon it will be time to be buying their young children similar building sets to what I bought my nephew. The toy companies have come a long way though and now there are really cool magnet building sets available that not only foster creative hands on learning, but because they use magnets, there is scientific learning going on as well. Think about it, who isn’t fascinated with magnets and how they work?
The magnetic building sets from Magnext come in many shapes and sizes and so many different things can be built from them such as a roller coaster, or, how about a T-rex dinosaur?! This sets are really amazing and I plan to stock up now and have them on hand for future gift giving.
