00:00Do you have a bunch of magnet tiles laying around your house?

00:02I certainly do.

00:03Here are three fun ways to play with them that don't involve construction.

00:06First thing you can do involves practicing the alphabet.

00:08Take a magic erase marker and write the uppercase letters on 26 magnet tiles.

00:13Write the lowercase letters on another 26.

00:15Then have your child match the big A with the little A.

00:18The second thing you can do, which is one of my kid's personal favorites,

00:21you make all the shapes you want using a bunch of different magnet tiles.

00:25Trace the outline.

00:26Take the magnet tiles away.

00:27Tape the paper onto the floor or another surface and have the children use the magnet tiles as puzzle pieces to fill in the trace shape.

00:35The third activity involves some painter's tape.

00:37Lay the tape on the floor.

00:39The child can use the magnet tiles to measure how long the tape is.

00:42And then they take a post-it note and write the number.

00:45I love these activities.

00:47They take up a lot of time.

00:48You can modify them based on how old your kid is.
