Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Magna-Tiles Shamrock! Magna-Tects re-arranged the pieces many times to make this four leaved clover!  Each has the same shape but different colors. Five Isosceles Triangles were used to make the Shape of the stem. In the middle, there are two patterns of Magna-Tiles layered on top of one another!

Encourage children to describe their Magna-Tiles Creations, use new words, and incorporate math language into everyday PLAY and activities! Young children will put together new sentences and use words for spatial concepts (direction, size, location, shape). Here is a list of spatial words:

Getting Started with Magna-Tiles

Introduce Magna-Tiles pieces to your children and allow plenty of free time to explore and be CURIOUS! Be sure that children have a comfortable, safe environment to play. Magna-Tiles are fun to build with on big, open spaces! Cookie sheets provide a nice, sturdy surface for building.

Many children will look at images on the box and create replicas! This can also be a fun game and learning activity!

Children quickly learn how Magna-Tiles pieces are “attracted” to one another and will connect and click together! As children spend more time and have a high interest in Magna-Tiles, they will find new and exciting ways to play and BUILD!

• Adding sides to my “house” will hold the other Magna-Tiles pieces up!
• Magna-Tiles “stick” to magnetic doors, fridges, furniture, chalkboards, and magnetic boards
• I can “see through” my Magna-Tiles Clear Colors!
• 2 right triangles make 1 square!
• I can build a road for my toy cars!
• I can make a castle for my village to live in!
• Adding another shape here will make my tower stand UP!
