Hi Paula,

Glad you found it useful.... what sorts of things have you done with your children??

I've had maga blocks in the water this week which has been fun!

When we first got these block, all my children wanted to do was see who could build the biggest tower, with these block being heavy that can be quite dangerous, so we thought of different ways that we could use them such as making homes for animals, or making a castle for the knights, I always try to place another toy near to the blocks to encourage the children to think about different uses. We also made a obstacle course, the blocks are really good for balancing, jumping over etc.
