The “Imaginets” from MindWare was the perfect toy for my guys on a recent overnight trip, when we were up too late and crowded in too small of a hotel room.
With its wooden traveling case, containing 42 magnetic wood blocks and 50 full-color design cards, the toy became a fast favorite of my 5-year-old and fought over by my nearly 10-year-old. Plus, a few days later, the toy was the exact distraction my 2-year-old needed while I hosted a book club meeting in my home but didn’t have childcare on hand. (The toy is recommended for children 3 and older due to its small parts.)

The cards give easy, visual instruction of how to arrange the wooden blocks, easy enough for the 5-year-old to follow, but there are enough different blocks to allow for kids’ own creative designs.

My 5 year old daughter has been playing with Imaginets and loves them as well. She can go through the cards on her own and has a great time without any assistance from me :) The wood case is great to hold everything also. Because both sides of the case are magnetic, you could easily have 2 kids playing with this, each creating their own picture. A fun toy!
