When you are buying a new toy for a kid, you may think about the way the toy can help your child to develop mentally and physically. In our home, we have many toys for my almost three years old kid. We have educational toys which introduce alphabets and phonics, pretend and building toys to develop his creativity and imagination. He plays frequently with his Mega Blocks and wooden blocks. He likes to create and pretend that he is building a mega mall or Disneyland. But he gets ‘very’ upset when the tall building he builds accidentally collapsed in front of him. And then one day when we were at the Parenting Class for toddler, I learned about the magnetic blocks that will stick together and will not collapse so easily compared to the regular blocks.

And when I did an online research about magnetic toys, I found a link to Magnext. It has a wonderful collection of magnetic toys by Magnext including cars, animals and building sets. These toys provide a child with reasoning and problem solving skills, creativity, focus and attention, organizing, colors and shapes, math and science, and fine motor skills. Magnext can keep a child busy for a long time as they can build and rebuild with the same set. If this is the first time you’ve heard about magnetic building toys, you can learn more about it at their website. Magnext are more suitable for children age six and above. I may have to come back to check on it when my boy turns five.
