What is it?A box with 50 magnetic blocks in various colours and a bunch of “challenges” in the form of images of things to build with the magnets. The inside of the box itself is made from whiteboard material, which can add to the fun of playing! It has won several awards, among them “Parenting for High Potential Recommended Award” and “Parents’ Choice Gold Award”
Why did it catch my attention?During a long stay in Silicon Valley with my two kids we went to the fantastic Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose and fell for this product when browsing the museum store for intellectually challenging toys for a 2,5 year old
How old was my baby when I bought it?My son was 2,5 and no longer a baby! The package says Imaginets is suitable from 3 years and up, but my son loves it and is able to build some of the easiest challenges (and many self-invented ones!) already
What value does it add for us?This is a great toy to keep a toddler busy on his own for a while, in the same way as crayons and paper, iPad games or Lego would do. The foldable box makes it very easy to bring along when travelling
What does it replace?Crayons and paper, iPad games, Lego and any other intellectually stimulating toys keeping a toddler and his/her imagination busy on their own
How did my baby respond to it?He absolutely loved it from the start! Has not let it go since we bought it yesterday
How much does it cost?Around $20 on Amazon.com
Can I see any drawbacks?Some of the pieces are very small and can cause hazards to potential younger siblings (like our 4 month old who puts everything in her mouth)
