I haven't seen those magnets before.

A great recent purchase was the new lego hole punch from Muji, which comes with a little template so you can punch holes in paper or card which then align with the bumps on lego - you can combine paper and lego in lots of interesting ways, we've only just started exploring its possibilities. <br /><br />We also love Makedo, which is a great system of reusable hinges and fasteners which makes junk modelling much more fun, because sellotape just doesn't work for some of the more complex creations my older one comes up with! xRainbow Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074537730057546641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174211352223616282.post-76977024189558057092012-07-16T03:52:05.454-07:002012-07-16T03:52:05.454-07:00So true! the favourite toys at our place at the mo...So true! the favourite toys at our place at the moment are crayons (the playon crayons - she prefers to stack them than draw with them so far...) and a gorgeous little wooden elephant on wheels. Not so keen on the plastic things that go wizz bang pop. <br /><br />by the way what is that toy you've got pictured? xAccidental Lentil...https://www.blogger.com/profile/13239554001748595807noreply@blogger.com
