Instant Crowd Pleaser: Magna-Tiles
You know how it goes. There are toys, foods, songs, etc that bring smiles all around. We will be highlight those this week.
First up: Magna-Tiles.
This basic toy delights kids and parents alike. It's perfect for the 3-to-7 year old crowd. Actually, make that the 3-to-107 year old set.
Magna-Tiles are a 3D magnetic building toys that have an illustrious history (see below), but we like them because they provide hours and hours of fun.
From the Magna-Tiles website:Magna-Tiles® were inspired by Pythagoras of Samos (560-480 BC), who was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics. It was his influence and belief that the world can be better understood through number relations.

About this Column
The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
