One of the most popular rug toys are the Magna-Tiles.  This toy is a magnetic building tile that connects with magnets.  Children usually start exploring the tiles with 2D flat shapes.  Then they begin to realize that flat shapes can transform into 3D objects.  Children can create cubes, pyramids, and other geometric shapes.  They can explore creativity, math, and spatial relations.  It develops spatial, tactile, patterning, and basic geometry skills.  Although we switch out the rug toys once or twice a month, the Magna-Tiles are usually a toy that holds the children’s interest and therefore remains a rug toy choice throughout the year.
