Magna-Tiles

August 31, 2013 by mybookboost

Magna Tiles

 

 

If I were to ever vote for “Top Toy” my vote would go with Magna-Tiles (squares and triangles with magnets on the sides that attach together).

Here are 10 reasons why they’re one of the top toys in our house.

1. Both of my kids have played with them almost every day for over two years.

2. The tiles are sturdy.

3. So many things can be done with them. They can be laid flat to create roads or dance floors or they can be built up vertically. It’s fun to drive cars on them or make houses for animals. There are so many options for creative and educational play.

4. They’re perfect for both girls and boys.

5. Friends who come over seem to enjoy playing with them.

6. Sometimes their creations break and kids will get upset. But, maybe it’s also a good lesson on dealing with life’s frustrations at a young age.

7. They’re easy to clean up because you stack them on top of each other.

8. They are pricey. But, they’re worth it because of the hours and hours that kids play independently with them.

9. They’re a great birthday or Christmas gift. If grandparents are wondering what to get your child and they’re willing to spend $50-$100, these would be great! Amazon is a good place to start in terms of finding them online. But, I’m sure other sites have them too. Just make sure they’re the actual “Magna-Tile” brand.

10. If I am blessed with grandkids, I have a feeling they’ll be playing with these same Magna-Tiles!

What toy(s) do you have now that you have a feeling future generations will be playing with? What are your experiences with Magna-Tiles?

    I agree, these are great toys! This has been a favorite in classrooms I have been in that had these.

    I thought I ordered them this year with fundraising money, but instead, ended up getting some small magnetic, foam blocks. They were NOT what I expected. Oops! I guess I have to be more careful to enter the correct number on my order forms!

      Definitely, Sarah! I’m still in awe how much my kids play with them. (=
