Magformers Monday (Pssssst - A Giveaway!)

Happy Monday after the Super Bowl!  I've always wondered why the Super Bowl continues to be played on a Sunday.  I mean, Super Bowl Sunday is basically a holiday, right?  Yet, most of us have to resume normal life again just 12 hours later.  There isn't much we can change about having to go back to work on this extra dreadful Monday morning, so how about a little giveaway to make it a little more bearable?  (P.S. It's my first giveaway.  How exciting is that?!)

I've professed my love for MAGFORMERS® a time or two.  We first encountered them last summer when Brantley received a 30-piece set for his third birthday.  As a math teacher, I was quickly--and I mean quickly--in love!!  The shapes polygons spoke to my heart and I immediately started thinking about all of their applications to my geometry class (faces, edges, vertices, nets, Euler's Formula...ahhhh!).  I even took them to use as a demonstration when introducing polyhedrons in November.  Pretty sure my students decided right then and there that I am cray cray, but anything in the name of education, right?!  In all seriousness though, MAGFORMERS® are fantastic!  Not only are they my favorite toy, but both of the boys love them, too!


What exactly are MAGFORMERS®, you ask?  I would describe them as brightly colored, plastic toys in various shapes that include magnets so that the pieces can be stacked, built with, you name it!  The magnets inside are very strong and the MAGFORMERS® don't appear to be cheaply made in the least bit!  Founded with the Architects of the future in mind, MAGFORMERS® have won all kinds of educational toy awards and MAGFORMERS® is of the world’s leading manufacturer of magnetic children’s toys.  They are marketed for kids age three and above, but even at 21 months, Holden loves to sit and play with them.  Don't believe me and my love for these things?  Check the Amazon reviews.  Turns out, I'm not the only one who is gaga over these toys!





Recently, we received a MAGFORMERS® My First 54-Piece Set.  I already knew we loved the toys, but what I didn't expect from this My First set was the different activity/learning cards.  The cards can be used to match shapes and colors (perfect for Holden) or provide a guide for building both two and three-dimensional figures (perfect for Brantley).





Or, of course, you can just let their imaginations run wild and they can build from scratch.  Here is Brantley building a "geese pond".  We've also built many a football/baseball stadiums in this house.



This has been my go-to gift for all of the 3-year old boys we know, but they would be perfect for girls, too!  In fact, as a female math teacher, I love that MAGFORMERS® makes sets (the Inspire series) that are specifically geared towards young girls.  Here are a few of those options, as well as some other favorite sets!



MAGFORMERS® 14-Piece Set
MAGFORMERS® 30-Piece Set
MAGFORMERS® Inspire 14-Piece Set (for Girls)
MAGFORMERS® Inspire 30-Piece Set (for Girls)
MAGFORMERS® Inspire 62-Piece Set (for Girls) 
MAGFORMERS® Cruisers Car Set
MAGFORMERS® Dinosaur Set
MAGFORMERS® 112-Piece Challenge Set
MAGFORMERS® Power Construction Set

And now for my favorite part.  MAGFORMERS® has agreed to give away one My First 54-Piece Set to one lucky reader.  This is the exact set the boys are playing with above--activity cards and all.  The contest is open through Thursday night and a winner will be announced on Friday!  Enter via the Rafflecopter widget below!  Good luck!!

  37. My oldest child, Dustin, turns 34 in a few months, and I'm at a loss for gift ideas. Although, laundry and cleaning would be a better use of his time, I'm sure he would enjoy sharing these for hours with my other children (ages 6,4 and 2). **Fun first giveaway, Sarah:) Congrats!**
