MagnaTiles + Cookie Sheet = Awesomeness

[logan's mom]

Maybe everyone else has already figured this out but....

We have been playing with our MagnaTiles on cookie sheets. The tiles will stand up on the cookie sheet making it easier for DS who is 3 to build and eliminates needing a base piece-so more pieces for building. It also makes it super easy to move his structures and I can separate the tiles onto 2 cookie sheets so each boy has his own place to build and set of blocks.

DS2 is just 1 but enjoys placing the tiles on the cookie sheets and hearing the sound. Plus when he destroys something I build for him, the majority of the tiles fall and "stick" to the cookie sheet.

Thanks for sharing this awesome idea. DD will now be getting a cookie sheet in addition to the magnatiles from Santa.

Nice idea!

I have some magnatiles up in the attic waiting for xmas. We also have two cookie sheets in the pantry that don't fit in our easy bake oven.. oops I mean our European oven.

*grins* I hadn't used it for Magformers yet. But We use Cookie sheets to play with magnets in the car on trips!

Thanks for the idea. My kids love playing with magnatiles and would love more stability.
