Open a box of these building tiles and let the kids play. Not only will you get 30 minutes — or longer for some children — of peace so you can sip some tea or catch up on social media, but the kids will be learning everything from shapes, colors, and fine motor control to the basic skills that go into engineering and coding.
Strike now! These magnetic PicassoTiles are on sale on Amazon. A box of 100 tiles is only $39.99. (Normally $49.99.)
All building toys are good for developing brains and hands. But these will grow with your child.
Younger children can build simple, flat structures involving shape and color. And older children can create complicated three-dimensional structures using magnets, shapes, and colors. These tiles encourage sandbox play that stretches the mind and encourages abstract imagination.
They are also easy to clean, easy to clean up, and pretty!
Add some to your toy box.
