Dear Friend
RE: The Magna Tiles 100 Piece Set, or Magna Tiles in General
You're probably thinking about buying Magna Tiles for their educational respect & all the fun both children of all ages and adults can have with them.
The price although expensive, is not that big a deal knowing Magna Tiles will last you a lifetime - it's not something you get bored of or grow out of. Your child(ren) will keep discovering new ways to use Magna Tiles as they grow up, and they'll always recollect the year they got their longest lasting Christmas present.
As well as this, the new Magna Tiles clear colors variety just look outstanding You have the option of building a complex geometric object and leaving it on display..
But not all children will relish in playing with Magna Tiles
Here's what I mean...
Constructing an object beyond the simple cube or pyramid with Magna Tiles requires a hint of delicacy, more than with the delicacy requisite with most other building blocks. The pieces come together through the use of magnets on their edges and can easily fall apart when you produce something complex.
If the plan is to purchase these for a hot tempered and impatient minor, then these magnetic tiles are perhaps the wrong gift to go for.
Magna Tiles CAN teach your child how to be more meticulous and gentle with the use of their hands, but your child just may not be ready for them yet, in which instance they may just get mad and frustrated and toss them off, thereby missing out on the potential enjoyment and educational benefits.
For more than 10 years, Magna Tiles have been used in prescool and beyond by teachers to clarify mathematical concepts by focussing on establishing numbers and geometry with Magna Tiles.
Magna Tiles will make it easier for your child to grasp otherwise complicated mathematical concepts such as spacial relationships, fractions and percentages. Their use goes beyond maths, by helping your child to understand some essential bedrocks of architecture, and by nurturing the creative right-brain, which is more or less ignored in modern society, despite being arguably the one most powerful factor separating highly successful people from the average joe..
Do keep in mind however, that school teachers are professionals who specialise in knowing when a pupil has reached a certain level of growth to be able to use and learn from a specific educational toy or other learning aid.
The Magna Tiles Clear Colors 100 Pieces Set Is Just One Out Of Five Different Magna Tiles Sets. Which One Is Most Appropriate For You?
Magna-Tiles come in a mixture of sizes and types:
Standard 32-Piece Set - Contains different colored opaque tiles. Comes with sixteen squares large and small and different types of triangles, 16 in total.
Magna-Tiles Standard Set One Hundred Pieces - Features opaque tiles in an assortment of colors. Comes with Fifty-Four squares large and small and different types of triangles, Forty Six in total.
Magna-Tiles 32-Piece Clear Colors Set - The tiles in this set are translucent in different colors. Comes with 16 squares large and small and different types of triangles, 16 in total.
Magna-Tiles Translucent Colors 100 Pieces - Features transparent tiles in a variety of colors. Contains 20 equilateral triangles, 4 six x six-inch squares, 50 3x3-inch squares, 15 isosceles triangles & Eleven right angled triangles.
Deluxe (DX) Fourty Eight-Piece Set: Contains different colored opaque tiles, including 8 extra special tiles that you do not get with the other Magna Tiles sets, such as tiles with holes, a wheeled magnetic piece for making Magna-Tiles cars to add that extra bit of fun, an arch etc.
Which Magna Tiles set is the best option? Well the regular set - although popular previously, just looks plain horrible and isn't that much cheaper than the clear-color set to justify this. Although the thirty-two piece sets are much cheaper, there's only so much you can build with thirty-two pieces - you will ALWAYS want to buy more and it just is not price effective. With the Deluxe (DX) set, regrettably it's pieces are not translucent, and the additional eight pieces are really not that brilliant.
Therefore the only real option to go for is the Magna Tiles Clear Colors 100 Pieces, which in my opinion is the only Magna Tiles set you aught to be getting if you're purchasing this for the first time.
Unfortunately, the Magna-Tiles Translucent Colors 100 Pieces Set is likely sold out across the board right now. Click the above link to learn if this is the case - if it is then you may wish to have a look at some other Christmas gifts below.
