Play is such an important part of child development and unfortunately play has often become putting children in front of a screen. Magna-tiles are a great tool for students to use for play but also to build imagination, teamwork, engineering mindsets and creativity. Students work together to create real or imaginary structures promoting an environment of teamwork. Students can push themselves to create and recreate new structures and attempt more and more complex creations. They can plan together and attempt new buildings. It also allows for easy clean up and can easily be pulled out to play with again later.
