Yes, the magnets are amazing. My four year old was really frustrated with the tabs too (which I remember feeling that way when I was young so...).

I agree with you about play... it's so fascinating to watch connections click in my babies' brains as they're learning to grasp and lift and seeing cause and effect... you just don't get that the same way with apps.

I got some for my girls last year, but they had quite the struggle getting the clothes to stay on with those little paper tabs. I never thought about using magnets. You are genius! Thanks so much for sharing, I am also going to pin to spread the word about your etsy shop.<br /><br />-Miranda at Drops of LearningAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469377999166595543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170687022389426848.post-91769646944801770452016-03-11T16:39:19.194-08:002016-03-11T16:39:19.194-08:00I love this idea!!

Young children learn so much from playing. I have a three month old that we're getting ready to start into daycare (I'm sad about it), but one of their philosophies is the importance of play as she grows. That makes me so happy.meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465250692644738996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170687022389426848.post-45889545946204804442016-03-11T10:37:39.999-08:002016-03-11T10:37:39.999-08:00I love this..my favorite thing in the world growin...I love this..my favorite thing in the world growing up was paper dolls and how easy we forget how fun those hands on little things were!
