For some children, cars and other vehicles with anywhere from 1 to 1,000 wheels are the ultimate toys to talk about, play with, and sleep with at night. And cars are indeed some of the most wonderful toys around with turning wheels and jobs to do.

Cars carry sick people to the hospital, transport everything from cement to footballs and jigsaw puzzles, take people on vacation to Düsseldorf, and drive astronauts around on the Moon.

Playing with toy cars can be an interesting scientific game or a lovely role play activity. With friends or alone, fast and furious or calm and quiet - like when the favourite tractor chugs around in the field in the evening sun and sighs longingly for the barn and a drink of refreshing motor oil after a long workday.

Building and constructing is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We could very easily write a long sales pitch about how building and construction play stimulates your child's hand-eye coordination, creativity, and fine motor skills as well as their understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With construction play, your child also gets hands-on experience with solving problems as they figure out how to put together the construction so it doesn't collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of magnets, building blocks, or pieces develops their patience. Also, it's so cool and satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to maybe make a really cool domino row and film it as it topples.

Do you know Magna-Tiles?

The quality magnetic construction toys Magna-Tiles challenge and encourage your child to use geometric shapes to build anything from very simple to very complex structures - just like footballs and bridges both consist of a pattern of geometric shapes. Magna-Tiles are magnetic on all sides, so they easily stick to each other via magnetism. They come in many different themes, shapes, and sizes, with mirrors, transparent, and with figures. There is something for every child.

Magna-Tiles are made from ABS plastic, which is very robust. The magnetic poles in Magna-Tiles are arranged so that the tiles do not repel each other and can be put together no matter which way they're turned, just like Connetix and Magformers. Magna-Tiles can be combined with Connetix, but do not fit with Magformers.

Magna-Tiles can be cleaned with a damp, well wrung out cloth - no sticking them in the sink with the dishes or giving them a spin in the dishwasher. If they do get wet, put them upright to dry so the water can drain out.
