Over the past year, my daughter quickly fell in love with Magna-tiles, a fun educational toy, at her preschool. When picking up my daughter from school, there were several times that her teachers would make it a point to tell me that my 2.5 year old daughter spent a good 20 minutes that day absorbed in these tiles. My husband and I just recently bought a set for home. Watching both my daughter and my husband play with them for quite a while (and then I started playing with them!), I decided to share this wonderful product with SFile readers!
