Magnetix, anyone?

Brynne Adell got a good-sized package of Magnetix for her birthday in June, and was elated.  


Ally has had a few isolated pieces for a few months, but kept them mostly to herself, not allowing anyone to play with them.  So for Brynne to get a set for her b-day was a major coup.


She's been connecting them and building shapes to spin around on the stand that comes with the set.  It is really cool, I think, and magnets are always so entrancing.  She'll get them out and sit on the floor for hours, just playing, enthralled with attaching the bits together.

Arranging the steel marbles in patterns.

And re-arranging them.  She presses them into the carpet and makes little dents in the fibers.

  She concentrates on it and insists on taking pictures.

And then she's done. . .
And they still sit for hours on the floor. . . until Kurt comes and tries to scoop them up.    

At least, stepping on a Magnetix isn't as horrible as stepping on a Lego.  Still.  Neither is fun.
