Talk about Emotions with the @neat_oh Magnutto Magnetic Sets & #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One thing I am learning in school as I study to be an Early Childhood teacher is how important emotional and social development is in a young child's development. It is important to work on social and emotional concepts with children but sometimes, for me, it is hard to come up with great ideas on how to do this with my children!

But now Neat-Oh! and their Magnutto Make A Mood magnetic activity sets are helping me and my children talk about feelings, emotions and we are having fun while doing it!

Kids may or may not recognize a scared cat, a mean dog or a worried classmate. But every feeling has a face™ as the three Magnutto play sets – Make A Pet, Make A Dino and Make A Mood show in an age-appropriate and fun way. The $24.99 sets for ages 5 and up are stuffed with facial features, hair and headpieces for children to select, build, then discuss. The results might look like a Picasso portrait. Or it might be spot-on as to how a child is feeling at the moment. Either way, it’s a wonderful starting point for caregivers and children to openly discuss how people and four-legged friends express themselves.

The Magnutto™ Make A Mood ($24.99) is the set my children have been having fun making all kinds of faces with and it is one of three new magnetic activity sets for tots as young as three years old. Kids are encouraged to make a face -- with magnets on an easel -- as they explore different feelings and the words that express them.

It’s all up to the little artists to pick among 133 thick magnets of head-to-chin characteristics. Designed to help children identify, express, understand and respond to feeling and emotions, boys and girls manipulate the foam magnets to create a facial mood. Multilingual vocabulary cards teach tots how to express themselves in three languages!

From the minute my children opened up the Make a Mood set, they were giggling and having fun creating all kinds of faces! It was fun to say an expression or mood and watch my children's creativity as they built the face with magnets! My children didn't even realize how much learning they were doing while having fun! And watching their creativeness and how many different faces they could make was fun for me as well!

Fashion Friends Magnetic Set & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I am a big fan of creative play with my kids! My children, especially my son, have the most creative minds and sometimes spend their whole days creating stories, make believe, and pretending!

Creative play is a big part of any child’s development, and encouraging a love of creating can help little ones grow in ways you can’t even imagine!

That’s why The Manhattan Toy Company is introducing four new themed adventures ranging from fashion design to transportation vehicles in their award winning imagine I CAN® play kit line. All games and kits feature appealing tin boxes with a carrying handle, perfect for those on-the-go this summer. Playful grownups and kids alike are sure to delight in magnetic games Character Mix-Up, Fashion Friends and Travel Time. These affordably priced kits were created for children ages 3 and up.

My children are LOVING the Fashion Friends magnetic kit!

Fashion Friends 

$25.00 • Ages 3+

Little fashionistas will enjoy making their own fashion statement by mixing and matching outfit and accessory pieces. Packed inside this kit are 85 magnetized pieces and 4 paper background scenes. Pants, dresses, hats and tops -- so many choices and colors to mix and match. A little imagination can make a chic outfit or happily avoid making a mismatch. Fashionable tin case with handle allows for easy storage and portability for another say-yes-to-the-dress session.

My children, especially my daughter, love to dress up dolls in different outfits over and over and do magnets so I knew this Fashion Friends kit would be a perfect fit for them!

And I was right! From the first day I opened this magnetic kit, they have been playing it every day, mixing and matching outfit after outfit, creating and loving it!

I love the magnetic aspect and carrier case because it allows us to take this kit easily on trips in the car and even to restaurants and other places they need to sit quietly for awhile.

There are tons of great options for the clothing and accessories and I love the different backgrounds they offer as well!

This is a great creativity magnetic kit and I highly recommend it for encouraging creativity in any house!
