A while ago, I shared some ideas for the budding architect. I intentionally omitted Magna-Tiles, because I think they deserve a post of their own. These magnetic plastic tiles are genius! They are magnetized on every edge and come in various shapes and sizes. They stick together to build intricate structures, tall and wide.
My friend, Christa (of Greek Guacamole fame) introduced us to these and they have easily become our family’s favorite toy. Occasionally, Cody and I even get some extra sleep thanks to these gems. The kids play quietly with these on the floor of our room and it’s pure bliss!
They are definitely pricey (the 32-piece set is around $50; the 100-piece set is around $120) and I’ve rarely seen them on sale, but consider them an investment—especially for a special holiday or birthday gift.
Does your family have a tried-and-true favorite toy?
