My three year old is never without "Max"

Each of my sons has a stuffed animal that live in an imaginary world that I made up for them.  I tell them stories about their animals each night before bed.
My son has a Wolverine that he lost when we went out of town so we bought him the one off of Amazon and it was the same one.  It is soft and snuggly and been through many adventures.
It is very awesome!

My 3 year old is completely fascinated with it.

Where have you been all my life?!?
For toddlers that cannot yet tell time, this is a.maz.ing.  My 3 year old is up before 5 asking if its time to get up yet, and every 5 minutes thereafter.  This is HUGE.  He now knows when he can get up because colors are so much easier to learn!  The green encouragement time is great for picking up toys or spending time reading. Seriously so awesome!!

Magna-Tiles first came to my attention when my oldest son was in Kindergarten (2013).  The YMCA after school program had a LARGE (500 piece) set they kept onsite at his school for the kids to play with.

Each day that we picked him up, boys and girls alike were playing with these things. These kids would be completely focused on a project: building a city together, making roads and garages for matchbox cars, creating beds for dolls - whatever they could think of.  These things were 'anything they wanted them to be'.  They were always pulled out and being played with, each day.  They were either the main item they were playing with (such as towers, buildings, etc.), or they were accompanying the other toys they had out (streets for the Lincoln Log town, landing platforms for their LEGO ships, homes for the Barbies, etc.).

When our youngest daughter turned 2, I decided to bite the bullet on the price and purchase this 100 piece set for her Birthday.  Sure, was young - but I knew these would be a long-living toy staple for both our kids. I also liked that we could add onto their set as time went on.

Boy, was I right.  Our daughter (now 4), and our son (now 9) still play with these things almost everyday.

I have seen these things be everything - buildings, roads, stuck together and then 'cut' into pieces of food for the kitchen set, designs, 3D ships, a great wall of China around our poor sleeping dog, fortress walls, Nerf gun targets, doll houses, and the ever classic - 'how high can we make a tower before it breaks?!'.

Out of all the toys that they have, my husband and I joke that we know what items we'll hang onto for our future grand children...  Magna-Tiles are one of the few.  Seriously, they are timeless.

My four year old insists that we read this book each night at least three times. She loves the pictures and counting Max's teeth, fingers and of course, when we get to the belly button, we have to tickle her belly button just like Max's.  I'm going to get the rest of the Dinosaur Bedtime series so I get some variety. :)

This is so awesome can't even begin to tell you. Our three year old is like the size of 5 year old and has mastered this driving it every where.

My kid has read it a thousand times already (well, maybe a hundred).

I bought one of the first ones out, in the 60s. It had been advertised as about to be released, so I prepaid so I would get it first thing. I had a three-year-old at the time. He was not talking yet (a genetic thing -- he talks beautifully now) but he struggled to make himself understood -- it was a motor development deficiency.

When I got this book, I immediately began the exercises, followed the suggestions, etc. My son blossomed, and when his baby brother became old enough, he too, learned well and quickly. They could both read as soon as they could talk! They could do math in their heads, they could play chess, as well, of course, as tic-tac-toe. When they went to kindergarten, they were writing, reading at about a second grade level, and were quite creative and artistic. I was amazed and delighted!

They were also ahead of their peers in motor skills and eye-hand coordination (a miracle, since the males in their father's family tended to be about two years behind in motor development!)

I believe firmly that this book allowed my sons to become the geniuses they are -- with IQs in the .003% of the population -- that is one in 333, if my math is correct. I could be wrong. Nevertheless it stood them in good stead in school, then in getting jobs. They are both in computer work,, but in very different areas. I am always amazed at their vocabulary, their ability to articulate, and their understanding of the "guts" of computers, etc.

Like I said, this book is a must, especially if your child has the beginnings of anything that could become a learning disabiity.

As a kid I loved where the wild things are. It's high adventure that appeals to every roaming fantasy a young boy has. It's about wearing a wolf-suit, exploration, taming monsters, and becoming a King. It was also the very first book I read to my son. The greatest moment was when, at 2 years of age, I was on the train and these two lovely old ladies approached him and started cooing and making faces. And with a very serious expression my son raised his hand, and said in his 2 year old gibberish, "Ve stweill." It was only later that I realised he was doing exactly as Max had done when he tames the monsters with his magic trick, and says: "Be Still!"
  It's the book I read to him when he had a three day stay at the hospital and it stopped him crying. Countless times it has been the only thing to stop him crying when he's been sick. I cannot give this book high enough praise.

My 3yr old LOVES this!  No noises or annoying flashing lights or batteries to replace; yet, it fires his imagination like no other toy. On a recent 5 hour car trip, I had packed this and his Power Rangers Samurai Megazord as well as his Kindle, a mini DVD player with about 10 DVDs, and an old iPhone 4s with some game apps like Fruit Ninja to keep him occupied--hey, like I said, FIVE HOUR CAR TRIP with a 3 yr old-- he watched a movie on the DVD player for all of 5 minutes before saying "all done" and turning it off to play with his Megazords. He assembled and disassembled and reassembled them over and over and narrated their various battles in the back seat for the rest of the trip. No whining.  No nap. Just happily played with his two Megazords. I rest my case. This year will definitely be a Power Rangers Christmas.  I cannot wait to give them my money. No joke.

I bought this for my son for Christmas last year (2007).  He played with it for a while. But, then it sat without being played with.  He turned 3 in March.  NOW all of a sudden, over the past month or so, he can't get enough of it!  I think it was a bit beyond his comprehension before.  But, now he plays with it every day.  It was well worth the money if you ask me.  Oh - and we haven't had ANY technical difficulties with it at all.  It works great.  As a matter of fact, I think I've only replaced ONE set of batteries in it in nearly 9 months.

My three year old son's favorite movie - he never tires of it.  Neither do I, for that matter.

My son received this bike for his third birthday. He has ridden it nearly everyday since then (11 months ago). He has such freedom to ride and coast with this bike. It lets him keep up with his older siblings, and it has given him great confidence on a bike. I know that he could easily move to a two-wheel "regular" bike now, but this Strider is so much fun for him that I am simply buying the extended-height seat post to give him another year on it. I highly, highly recommend this bike!

This cutie is a big hit with my 2 kids!(ages 8 & 3) My 3yr old son will not sleep without him. It came from China, so it did take awhile to get to us, but i understood that. The way the two were packaged was a bit messy, but once opened, Baymax was perfect!!
