I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
I love seeing toys for girls that break the boundaries of princesses and sparkles. I have 2 girls and I understand the importance of toys that are fun and work S.T.E.M. at the same time. That’s the mission behind Build & Imagine, an empowering toy line for youngsters ages 4 and up that starts them on a road to innovation. These magnetic construction sets are packed with foundational STEM learning yet are enchanting for endless hours of imaginative play.
Each Build & Imagine StoryWalls play-set is made of colorfully illustrated double-sided magnetic panels that a child joins together any way she likes. The result is a scene that she brings to life with the enclosed dress-up dolls and more than 40 magnetic costumes and props. The illustrated details act as story starters, sparking imaginative play.
Here is my 6 year old playing with Malia’s Beach House Set. It includes Malia & Skyler dolls, 17 dual-sided StoryWall building panels, and more than 40 magnetic accessories. This is definitely unlike any other playhouse we have owned before. My daughter thoroughly enjoys building the house up before playing in it. Each time she plays with it the experience is different since she has to configure a new house set up each time. Sure it has fallen down plenty of times but she learned that she had to build it to be sturdier…that is part of the learning process.
This set is gaining attention with awards and more including Dr. Toy’s 2015 Best Classic Toys, PAL Top 10 Language Learning Toys, Parents? Choice Gold Award Winner and The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval.
My almost 4 year old also gets in on the action and they play with the set together. This set is a playhouse, construction set, dress-up doll and magnetic toy all wrapped up into one amazing toy.
Of course boys can play right alongside girls with these fun sets! Look for Build & Imagine StoryWalls play sets in stores and online at places like amazon, The Grommet, Kohl’s, Fat Brain Toys and Zulily. Build & Imagine will be featured in upcoming catalogs such as Hammacher Schlemmer, Mindware and Museum Tour Toys. You might even tune in to QVC and catch their products in play. Browse inside Pottery Barn Kids or over 150 neighborhood toy shops. The magnetic building sets can also be conveniently purchased at Build & Imagine’s website. These are really amazing building sets and I can’t wait to get more for my girls to enjoy!
