Like many kids, Laurel gravitated towards fridge magnets as a toddler, and now - with agile hands and imagination - she is crazy about construction magnets. We first learned about magnet stick and ball sets from our neighbor (a former preschool teacher), and were thrilled to receive the Goobi 61 Piece Beginner Magnet Construction Set (in rainbow, of course) for Laurel’s birthday. A terrific open ended creative play toy, it’s impossible for kids and adults alike to resist clicking together cool structures; we need to add one of the bigger sets (104 or 202 pieces) to our collection soon.
