Tonight, Brian grabbed me by the hand and pulled me up the stairs to look at his "Clone House". He worked so hard to build it just right, and was really afraid Leslie would knock it over before I got to see it if I didn't come to look at it tonight. So, being the dutiful mom that I am, I went up stairs, fully expecting to "oo and ah" over a box or some such thing.
When I got up to his room, which is in a state of shambles I"m not allowed to touch at the moment, this is what I found. A very complex "Clone House", I'm assuming from Star Wars the Clone Wars TV show. He had built it with two stories of Magna-Tiles. Each section had compartments that housed either his Star Wars Men, or their Cars (all of which are his toy cars from the movie "CARS"). Anyway, I was quite impressed not only by his actual creation, but by the thought he put into it.
He loves the Magna-Tiles, and even though Grandma Cathy doubled up the set this Christmas, the kids still fight over them. They are the best toys I believe we have ever had. Not only are they nearly indestructible, they are big enough babies can play with them, but entertaining enough older children can play with them for hours.
My kids have full sets of Lego's and usually use them as accent pieces to go with the Magnatile creations. Leslie builds intricate walls with her dolls in them.
Below are a few photo's and a video of Brian and his "Clone House"...be sure to hold out for the end of the video, it's pretty funny, in a juvenile sort of way!

Hi, I work for the agency that created the Magna-Tiles website. We are in the process of adding a new feature for individuals to place a photo of their creation on the site to share with others in our idea gallery. Would it be OK to add Brian and his "Clone House" to the site to get the ball rolling? How old is Brian? Please let me know ASAP if OK thru the e-mail listed below. Thanks.
