Magnaplay Review & Giveaway
By AndreaM on Jul 10, 2009 in Finished Giveaways
I always struggle with finding activities to keep my 3 yr old occupied while we are taking long car trips. I recently found a new company, MagnaPlay, that actually has 2 products designed for traveling.
What is it?
MagnaPlay was founded by a Mom who understands the importance of safety and quality when manufacturing educational toys for children. MagnaPlay strives to educate children and facilitate their creativity with its innovative educational activities. From learning the alphabets and numbers to coloring, word games and puzzles, MagnaPlay offers fun activities for children of all ages.
MagnaPlay has built their product line around a wonderful invention called the MagnaKase. The Magnacase serves both as an activity board and a storage case for children’s coloring activities. They can use the top of the case as a dry erase board as it has a dry erase magnetic surface. What I like best about it is that it comes with 2 magnetic strips that secure coloring pages to the activity surface for coloring with crayons, color pencils, or markers. During travel, children can use the MagnaKase as an activity lapboard while in a car seat, in a flight, in a restaurant or even during a picnic as it is just the right size. The hinged case has built-in snap-lock latches and handle which makes it convenient for children to carry the case along with them with their favorite coloring pages, crayons, color pencils and markers. It is important to note that you should only use sponges, tissues, or a dry cloth to erase marking. Do not use water as it will leave permanent color stains.
The product which I reviewed was the The MagnaPlay Magnetic Coloring Travel Set. This set includes the MagnaKase, 4 double-sided Reusable Color and Erase worksheets, 6 dry erase WASHABLE markers, and a sponge. Right away my 3 yr old was excited to play with markers, and I was excited they were washable. He quickly began coloring all over the worksheets and his mouth dropped opened when mommy erased the color away and he could do it all over again. It was a little difficult for him to erase the markings away but with a little help he was able to accomplish the task. His favorite part is the dry erase board on top of the MagnaKase. He can draw whatever his little imagination dreams up and clean-up is a breeze! MagnaPlay also offers downloads of free coloring pages if your child gets tired of the pages they are coloring!
MagnaPlay has generously offered 1 MommyPR reader a chance to win MagnaColeraze Search-A-Word Coloring Puzzle. This is a fun way for young children to learn and improve their spelling and word identification skills while they enjoy coloring. These Color and Erase sheets let children color the pictures and solve the puzzle over and over again until they get them right. These sheets are laminated with sealed edges making them water proof and protecting them against liquid spills. The wipe-clean and reusable feature offers years of enjoyment and great value for money. They have magnetic strips on them enabling their use with theMagnaKase, an activity and storage case, while traveling or while at home. These sheets can also be used without the MagnaKase when at home. Children can play with them on the fridge as the magnetic strips help secure the coloring sheets to the fridge! You should only use dry erase markers on them and they are recommended for ages 3 and up.
