Every year, Brian Williams Science helps you find the perfect gift for the science enthusiast in your life. Today, we present Magna-Tiles!
Every year, the Brian Williams Science publishes a set of articles aimed at helping you find the perfect gift for the science enthusiast in your life. We call it Giving the Gift of Wonder. This year, we’ve got a very special list of great gifts ideas meant to inspire curiosity and imagination. Some are for children. Others are for adults. Many are for kids of all ages! Chances are that you’ll be able to check a few names off your list with some of the ideas you find here. And as usual, we hope that you will take time this holiday season to Do Some Science!
Today’s Gift Idea: Magna-Tiles
Magna-Tiles are the ideal gift for children who love to build! Each Magna-Tile has magnets along its edges that allow children to connect it with other tiles to build different shapes. They are sized perfectly for little hands and introduce children to basic engineering and design ideas. Children begin by stacking, making flat patterns, and move to creating more complex 3-D shapes and creations. In addition to developing spatial problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and math reasoning, Magna-Tiles are just plain fun and are guaranteed to provide hours of creative play. From castles to cars to robots, the only limit is your imagination!
