Get Cool Toys from Beyond the Seam!

When I was little my grandma had a set of cool, fuzzy fruit magnets on her refrigerator. I used to sit and play with them for hours whenever we went up there, and a few times I even tried to take them home with me!

ABC Cloth Magnet Set from Beyond the SeamI had forgotten about those soft little magnets until recently when my fellow blogger Sarah, over at Mami's 3 Little Monkeys, was given the chance to review some cloth magnets from an Etsy store called 'Beyond the Seam'.

As for me personally, I think that the arrival of technology has really had a big impact in how our kids are playing - and not always in a good way! Computers, tablets, TV, and video games have far-too-often replaced board games, hide & seek, tag, and playing pretend.

While I do still allow my kids to watch TV, I think it would be nice if I implemented a few more old-fashioned toys and games. A cloth magnet set would be a nice start because my son is just now beginning to read and I would just love-love-love to be able to watch him sort through his first words right next to me. I work from home in my kitchen, so refrigerator magnets would be an easy way to keep him next to me while he figures things out!
