If your kid is in a “can we bring toys in the car?” phase (and you’re in a “please, anything but a screen” phase), this set is your new best friend. The MAGNA-TILES microMAGS Spring Garden 24-Piece Travel Set is a compact magnetic building set made for building on-the-go—restaurants, road trips, waiting rooms, grandma’s house… you get it. It’s spring-themed, sweet, and surprisingly engaging for such a small box.
Why it’s great: Magnetic building is one of those rare activities that quietly covers a lot—spatial reasoning, early geometry, fine-motor skills, and problem-solving—while kids are just happily building and rebuilding. The Spring Garden theme adds storytelling play (bunny homes, flower shops, garden gates, pretend parks), which means it holds attention longer than “build a tower, knock it down, repeat.”
Unit study connection: Easy add-on for spring themes, like our Exploring Bees or Explore Spring with Gail Gibbons garden units.
Pair it with nature journaling, spring read-alouds, or a simple prompt like “Build a garden that has a gate, a path, and a place for the bunny to sleep.”
