We were given a few of these by a friend to try, and I can't wait to have our own set. They get used in the bath, on mirrors, on the high chair tray table, and to each other. So many possibilities, and they're great to put in a restaurant bag, diaper...

We use these for all kinds of things, and 3 of this size fit in an Ikea cube, so you can keep multiple sets separate, but neatly tidied up. I love to put our Magnatiles in one of these, and it's great if we're taking them out of the house, as we can ...
