Review on TalentGifts Montessori Cognitive Learning Toys: Novelty & Gag Gifts by Maurice Hurd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My students love them, heaven sent them to kindergarten or junior high school

This year I made a potentially horrible mistake teaching STEM for a non-profit organization and I continue to do so from the Goodness Of My Heart Anyone who teaches kindergarten through 3rd grade knows that attention spans are short and sustaining toddler attention is not easy, especially when moving between classes, activities, or groups. This is one of those activities that does a great job. "Fill in the gaps" and keep them filled. Students simply never tire of these blocks. Most of them sit and build for at least an hour at a time and then keep building. Of all the little unstructured activities and games I have, this one is her favorite. I have other blocks, puzzles and mechanisms, but they all compete for the "Magnetic Blocks Table". Highly recommended. Be sure to order two or three sets if your class or school budget allows, as they will want to play all at the same time. Of course, the blocks themselves are of high quality and the magnetism is quite strong. Most blocks hold up well and you can organize all sorts of STEM and construction/engineering tasks for students. Or just let them play alone when trying to rate works or anything like that. Thank you for reading my review.
