Free Play Magnatab

For years, people have smugly insisted that doodlers aren’t paying attention in class or meetings. Turns out, they were wrong. Or so says the white-coat-wearing academics at some university in England where they studied the subject of doodling. Doodlers, they claim, actually retain more information than non-doodlers when asked to remember tediously delivered information. So doodle away with the Free Play Magnatab. This smart and portable toy lets you draw whatever you like by pulling beads to the surface with a magnetic stylus. To erase, simply run your finger over the board.

Tegu 40 Piece Explorer Set - Tints

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:50:20 +0000

There are three things our customers really love: magnets, wood and building toys. And Tegu blocks hit the trifecta with magnetic wooden blocks that click into place. Pronounced “tay-goo,” the name is derived from Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras where the blocks are made. Tegu’s founders wanted to bring a business to Honduras that paid a living wage and offered long-term career growth. They succeeded with both and created a brilliantly simple product to boot. Tegu will spark curiosity, build hand-eye coordination and provide hours of creative free play for young and old alike. The Tegu Explorer Set includes 40 blocks in seven shapes: 4 Large Columns, 8 Mega Planks, 8 Long Planks, 4 Medium Columns, 4 Small Trapezoids, 4 Large Trapezoids and 8 Short Planks. Tegu blocks come packaged in a beautifully designed box large and rigid enough to store the blocks for many years to come.

Tegu look like innocent wooden building blocks, but they have a little secret tucked into them. They have magnets inside, and snap together with a satisfying click. These heirloom-quality blocks are a modern twist on a classic toy and are made of sustainable Honduran hardwoods, coated with eco-friendly, non-toxic, water-based lacquers.

This 6-piece Tegu set includes 4 triangular prisms and 2 parallelograms in a felt pouch, ready to travel in a purse or briefcase, equally comfortable entertaining children at a restaurant or hanging out with the boss at work. They inspire imaginative creative play and build coordination.

Magformers 30 Piece Classic Set

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:50:20 +0000

We love building sets with magnets. But building sets with magnets that rotate to their position for an instant connection make our neurons downright giddy. Magformers comes with two colors (either yellow and blue or red and purple, colors will vary) and includes 12 triangles, 18 squares and enough super powerful magnets to satisfy your urge to test out the forces of magnetism. The best part? You can lay the shapes out flat and lift at a central point to watch your structure magically take shape. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award, Magformers will have your occipital, temporal and parietal lobes squealing like three teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert. Colors will vary.

Turncoat

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:50:20 +0000

Getting four in a row of your color should be a piece of cranial cake. After all, you’ve been playing games where you have to get four in a row for as long as you can remember. But with all due respect to those other games, they didn’t have the forces of magnetism built in like Turncoat. Each piece of this clever strategy game is a magnet with red on one side and white on the other. The board has magnets, too, which means it can flip your piece to help you win or lose with every turn. The trick to winning is remembering the spaces on the board where the forces of magnetism worked in your favor.
