    WE have that magnet board!!!! Do your kids actually try to use it the way it’s supposed to be used? My soon to be 5 year old just likes to make shapes out of shapes, you know circles that he places into the planets and then rectangles into squares and stuff like that 🙂

    He is a master at making triangles with his scissors out of construction paper 🙂 Oh, I’m clicking through an ad here, but wanted to take a moment and comment on the content, good stuff here. 😀

    Thank you for sharing.
