As part of the Guidecraft back to school give-away extravaganza, hosted by our Guidecraft Educator’s Team, I am giving away this wonderful set of Magneatos!
I received this set of magneatos over the summer so my students haven’t had the chance to play with them yet – but I did!
I thought I would show you how the magneatos stick together to create fun designs and shapes…
Since the magneatos are so large, my grandson was even able to play with them. The magneatos are a wonderful tool for play, exploration of magnetic qualities, construction, and turn a magneato ball and stick into a microphone and you have some dramatic play too!

I love the Magnetos! What a great idea.
We have Magnetos in the classroom and the children LOVE them. We have a very small set so adding to our set would he great!
I like the block mates in the 3+ category
I love the Guidecraft rainbow blocks, especially the sand and shimmering water ones.
I love how ig and colorful the pieces are. We just went to a friends house and mu 18 month old tried to build with the leggos. The were so small and he was putting them in his mouth. He would LOVE this set.
I love the construct it sets and the twister curves. Great for fine motor development and building creativity. I saw the magneatos at the home school convention and thought they were fabulous.
I love, love, love the activity desk! It would hold all of our art supplies no problem. I just stumbled across your blog, and love it! Thanks for all of the ideas.
Love all of the construction toys, especially the Magnetos! Easy ways for kids to get creative and build!
I love the storytelling kits!!! (the girl who loved danger is really catching my attention for my youngest)
I love the magneatos! Magnetic blocks have been on my wishlist for a long time. I did see their balance base on the website. That was pretty awesome. It would be great for strengthening body control.
Wow! Guidecraft has so many quality and unique products! I must say that one of the first to catch my eye was the beautiful Storytelling Boxes by Steve Light. Having a good sense of story is the basis for enjoying reading and by retelling with these props, the children can go back and “read” on their own or with a buddy. This strengthens their knowledge of story structure and allows them to be successful readers right away. This ability is also directly related to the writing process of “telling your own story.” The Rapunzel set is so gorgeous and I love the fact that there is an African story as well as a Japanese one.
I do have a very small sample set of Magnetos that would be so much more useful in my classroom if I had a few more pieces to add:)
I have been looking for a large magnet set for my son for awhile now. Magnetos look absolutely perfect! They are definitely my favorite guide craft product.
There are so many Guidecraft products to love! We have the rainbow, sand, and water blocks. My daughter’s 5th birthday is tomorrow and I would love to get the Magneatos for her. She is autistic and loves to build with blocks. This would be great play therapy for her! I also love all the pretend kitchen play items on the website. My daughters would have fun with that.
These are awesome, LOVE them! The sorting food trays are also very cool.
Their Deluxe Art Center is fantastic! So many places to store crafts and supply materials. I love it. Thanks for this giveaway and for helping me with my Santa list, lol
asmithonline at yahoo dot ca
I like the plywood trucks: they look sturdy and just the right size for kids to handle.
The rainbow blocks are pretty neat but the magneatos are by far my favourite Guidecraft product.
My friends (well their kids) have them and everyone plays with them, even the adults. Seems to be a toy that doesn’t get stale
I love the magneatos! I just know my kids would love them!!!
I love the Steve Light Storyboxes. First thing that came to mind was my autistic students would love these!
kitchen helper
I love the Desk to Easel Art Cart on the Guidecraft site! Thanks for giving me a chance to win the magneatos, they look cool!
Many things to love, but my all time favorite is the magneatos! These would be perfect for my preschool class! Thank you!
I really like See and store dress up centre in 3+ category and inspired by your website, I am looking into expanding my music program into preschool programs… This would be a great addition to our classroom as well as hours of play for my 2 little ones.
thank you for such a great site and this amazing offer!!!
I love the Flower match garden patch!
I love the Guidecraft Kitchen Helper! My kiddos love to help me cook/bake and this stand has been amazing!
Guidecraft creates toys that both of my sons love to play with for hours. Recently, we received the animal train and sort puzzle as a gift. My 2 and 4 year love to play with it. We can work together as a family or the boys can do the puzzle by themselves.
I really like the Guidecraft Modular Science Center . In my case I do not have a lot of space in my classroom and the upright design will help me save space, but still offer the students plenty of science to explore.

treehousepreschool-poolesville.com
My grandson would love the constuction set match and sort activity. He is all about his cars and trucks!
The light box would also be lots of fun!
My 22 pre-k students love to build and the Magneatos look like a wonderful tool to create all sorts of structures! I also loved the Skyscraper building set on the website!
I love the Steve Light storytelling products. What a great way to engage the kids in language and literacy. Engage being the key word. You can use these in so many ways, teaching many things all at once! I’m definitely going to look into getting some of these for the children I work with. Thanks!
I love their bookshelf! I also was intrigued by the kitchen set that folds down and can slide under a bed.
The Magnetos are my favorite but I also love the Farm Animal Blockmates!
Love the 3d feel and find set.
I love the Magnetos! My class sqeals whenever I get them out!
I absolutely love the Dress-Up Carousel (along with the Magneatos!)!
I just love the Guidecraft rainbow blocks! I hope to get a small set for my family this Christmas. My email is princessjasmine05@gmail.com
These look like so much fun! I’ve seen similar things, but these Magneatos look perfect for preschool hands. I like the curved set too; a great way to build the set.
Thanks, I actully love the entire site. My LO birthday is the 16th so I ended up getting him the Primary Puzzle robot & the shape and color sorter. I love the block mates they will be next on our list.
I really like the tactile turn n touch–it looks well made and durable.
I love the Noah’s Ark book display piece in the furniture setting! I also love the idea of the magnetos. Thank you for the chance to win!
These magnets are so fun. My preschool students use them for microphones. LOL
I love the Hideaway Country Kitchen. It is unbelievable how small it becomes when you fold it down to store it!
Too many items that I absolutely love! The furniture is very functional and the toys look very engaging and durable. I am very interested in those Magnetos – my students are always interested in magnets and building.
I love the single canvas book display! I have looked for four years for a book display for my preschool. I put it in my cart right away, and will be adding a set of Magneatos. Neato!
I LOVE the market loft! That is the neatest idea!
I love the storytelling sets. So imaginative. itterc@hotmail.com
I think the light boxes are so cool. I have been thinking about getting one for a long time now.
There are many, many great items to choose from. My daughter is almost three, so I think she’d have lots of learning fun with the Flower Match Garden Patch…I would, too!
Single Canvas Book Display
When I went to the Guidecraft website I really found myself wishing I could purchase the dress up carousel. I would definately choose the natural color to encourage boys to use the dress-up clothes as well. I like how it can house all the hang up clothes as well as other items . I think it would be easier for the children to learn to put the items away themselves as this area always tends to be a mess in my classroom.
The magneatos are fantastic. I also really like the Center Stage Puppet Center.
I love the sensory stepping stones. I have 2 ASD kiddos with sensory needs. They love them!
Hi Deborah,
Guidecraft has so many wonderful items but when reviewing them all if I had to choose one, I’d go with The Wall Mounted Barnyard
Box. I love the way it’s available anytime since it’s permanently on the wall. Also very interactive, easy to manipulate, and the locks add
to the intrigue of the toy. I have had many children in my classroom whom I’ve purchased keys and locks for so they can satisfy their curiosity as to how these “Adult toys” work! Great Item.
Thanks,
Holly
I really love the Sorting Food Tray puzzles. These would be wonderful in our classroom, for we set up the table for snack and this would help the children learn table placement!
I love the Magneatos and have been wanting to get some for my daughter for a while!! I also love the Interlox!! My daughter got something similar in a kids meal a while back and she plays with them all the time interlocking them and creating things, but there’s only a few pieces, so I think she would love the Interlox and make all kinds of fun things!!
I really like the Magnetos. A fellow teacher has them and I am always borrowing them for my little kiddos (3 year old preschoolers). I also would like to try the Rainbow Blocks they look like they would be a fun addition to our bock area :0)
I liked the storytelling sets based on fairytales. Very cool!
I have a smaller version of the magnetos and my kiddos love them and are so intrigued with the wonder of the magnets and how they magically hold the pieces together. Creativity is the wonder of kiddos. The dress up carousel is another winner
. Crossing my fingers
I like to use unconventional items in my construction/block center. Cups, sponges, etc. The Interlox Set on Guidecraft caught my eye. I could see my children using them in creavtive ways. I would be thrilled to win the Magnetatos set!
Love all the construction toys, especially the Magnetos!
There are so many quality items on their website. I would use the fraction action board to encourage problem solving skills in by preschool children.
I love the Skyscraper Building Set. What a nice alternative to blocks.
I love the Rainbow blocks, especially the ones with Shimmering Water. I would love to have a set to use on my homemade light table!
I love the play kitchen. I think dramatic play is so important for children. It gives them the opportunity to learn to work together. Such fun!
I love the deluxe art center and the magneatos.
I love the magnetos jumbo master builder set!
Well my kids would just absolutely go nuts over the magneatos. Not to mention I could play too. every time I go to the Guidecraft webs site and look at thier products I drool. They have great stuff. Just wish I had a bigger budget….Right now I think the Magneatos are my number one pick for a must have in my classroom…
My daycare children played with these at another providers home and loved them, these make great imagination tools!!
I loved the Steve Light storytelling boxes!
I love that if I win this set I can build upon it with the curved magneatos or master builder set. I also love the block mates . . . what a good idea!
I think the wall mounted lock set puzzle type thing would be super fun, for the kids of course;)
I have a baby boy on the way, he would love the magneatos!
My girl would have her blue eyes fixed on the princess collection from the website.
Time to go shopping!
I’m always looking for good building sets. They’re always so popular and this has the added advantage of the “science” of magnets.
I love the construct it sets and the twister curves. Great for fine motor development and building creativity.
Where to begin?There are so many things I would love to order on the Guidecraft website.I do love the modular science center.
I really love their block storage, a little utilitarian I know, but kids play with blocks WAY more when they are neatly organized.
We love the magnetos! We got a small set given to our dayhome and we play with them so much! What cool toys!
I’d love to get the all in one modern kitchen for my daughter. I know she’d love it and I like that it matches our kitchen. She could “cook” right along with me!
I have had them in pre-k classrooms before. I loved watching children roll the balls close to the posts and watch in amazment as they are drawn to the magnet. One of my favorite toys from Guide Craft is the Tactile Turn ‘N Match. The children in my classrooms have loved this toy.
I love the balance beam. Classic. pearlho81 at gmail
I love the rainbow blocks! I have wanted them for a while.
I love the Step Up Kitchen Helper! Much safer way to get those kiddos helping and learning all at the same time
Wow, so many neat things! I really liked the balance mazes tho..
I think the Fraction Action Board looks super neat and would love to add it to our homeschool classroom!!!!!
I love their desk to easel art cart.
cjhopman at hotmail dot com
I have to choose Block Mates as my favorite thing off of the site. Especially the Dinosaur ones!
I would like the plywood trucks. My class is composed of mostly boys and I know they would love them.
I love the Steve Light story boxes! They are so well crafted and children would have a great time playing with them!!! I also like the rainbow blocks!
I love Blockmates animals and dinosaurs from Guidecraft’s website!
amelias.schaeffer@gmail.com
I love the blockmate–especially the dinosaurs. What a great way to extend block play!
Jr. Hollow Blocks and Arches and Tunnels are on my wishlist this year. My budding architects can’t get enough of building!
The Rainbow Blocks are an absolute favorite at our center. The children never tire of playing with these blocks and are able to come up with imaginative uses for them in multiple play areas. The children love incorporating them into their unit block construction sites as windows, road signs, or decorative elements. These blocks are a standard in our Math Center. Yesterday a group of children used the Rainbow Blocks for “magical flying carpets” in the dollhouse area! http://www.guidecraft.com/product/20245/G3016/_/Rainbow_Blocks_Set_-_30_Pcs.
Wow! I wish I had a money tree because they have so many fantastic products! My daughter would love the the rainbow blocks in all varieties! And with her love for reading and my love for organization {and of course reading!!}, I so badly want to order the reading bench with bookshelf and storage space! That is going to the top of my wish list! Thanks so much for posting this give away! I am so excited to learn about Guidecraft and I am super excited about the potential to win those amazing MagNeatos! What kid doesn’t love magnets! =)
I love all of the construction toys–how can you pick just one when the whole set of them,I think I would have to go with the jumbo master builders sets.
We don’t have any magnet building sets, so I’d go with the Magneatos, but I could look at their site all day!
I would love to have the High Rise Step-Up stool for my preschoolers to reach my high sink easier!
I think Magneatos would be a great building toy for my 3 year old grandson. He is a lego fan. I also like the locking ladders toy on the website.
My child & I found the Nest & Stack Cubes at one of our local libraries. I would have never thought that nesting & stacking would have so many possibilities. And now I want to order some for MY library.
I Love the Art Activity desk!
I saw a lot of really great items, but the one I really like is the international food for dramatic play! I work in an Low SES and I am all about bringing as much exploration into my classroom while teaching about other cultures.
I LOVE the Primary Puzzle Board and so does the 2 year old I have in my pre school.
I love the construction sets. I always loved them as a child, and now I love doing them with my kids
Wow! So many wonderful things at Guidecraft. I really liked the tactile toys – that spinning one in particular. So many possibilities! The Magneatos are, of course, neato! I have developed quite an affinity for magnets over the summer and have many plans for the coming school year that involve magnets! These would definitely fit into my plans. Thanks for this opportunity!
wow the deluxe art center….but way out of our price range
I like the Sun Sorter, the Fraction Action Board and the Deluxe Art Center. And if I ever win the lottery I would love to have one of the lofts for my classroom! lol.
I absolutely love the Storytelling kits! My preschool kids love to tell stories even with pieces of paper! This would be a great addition to our literacy center!
I love the Kitchen Step Up. What a wonderful (and safe) way to include the grandchildren in cooking activities.
I really liked the Magneatos Curves building toy and the Desk to Easel art cart!
I love the Center stage Puppet Theater! Great fun for oral language and storytelling!
I love the memory caps game and the construction and train match sets. I am always working with color, shape, and patterning.
It was so hard to pick one! I love the 3D feel and find set. I’d also love to win the magnetos for my Pre-K4 classroom. The kids would love it!
I like many things but am interested in the light boxes and magneatos.
Thanks!
My son has Autism and I have seen him use the Magneaton in his pre-school classroom. He was super focused on matching all the same colors together. It would be amazing to have a set at home for him to play with. The Guidecraft website has so many amazing toys, it would be hard to pick one so I’m sticking with the Magneatons!
I love the rainbow, sand and shimmery blocks–so much fun!
The rainbow blocks are awesome, kids love to build, and to see the colors change by putting two blocks together teach children how to mix colors to get other colors.
I fell in love with the storytelling sets! I teach pre-nursery and I read stories to my students very often. They enjoy audiobooks and roleplaying as well.. but this storytelling set just blew my mind!! thank you for sharing this website with us!!
I want to buy the magnetaos for my son since the first time I saw them! There is many more products that I would buy too, among them the 3D Feel & Find, the pirate lamp, wooden blocks and so much more! This company makes gorgeous toys!
I would love the Kitchen Helper. My kids like helping in the kitchen but they are not tall enough to reach the counters.
chepburn77 (at) gmail (dot) com
I absolutely love the bookshelf! Great way to turn on little ones to reading and makes a big statement about the importance of reading!
The kiddie rocker set is adorable. Also love the Magneatos! And the kitchen helper would be awesome when my daughter gets a little older!
catlittle713@gmail.com
The children in my daycare love to play with the small magneatos set that I have for them. By exploring magnetism the children have learned some of the cause and effect properties of magnets. By experimenting with them, they have discovered that not all objects are magnetic. They also incorporate the magnets in many other centers not just the science center. The magneatos make wonderful megaphones in the music center, etc…
Our Centre is currently building a sensory room for the children in our community and I love the tactile bars.
There are so many beautiful items in this catalogue that would make any child’s enviroment a joy to play in. Thanks for sharing!
I really liked all their double sided bookshelves-you can tell what I’m in the market for here at Riverside Rhymes! I’ll get back to you if I decide to buy one. Thanks for encouraging me to peruse the site.
I love the step up kitchen helper! My little guy always pulls a chair up while I’m cooking to help! This is a cute little idea, just love it!
I really like all of the Guidecraft item, but I especially like the wide variety of sorter boards and fraction boards that are available….somthing for all ages!
I LOVE the magnetos, my littles would love them!
I love all of Guidecraft products, but right now I have my eye on their cooking stool that folds. Along with there story books
What a great site! I like the wooden blocks in various shapes. They were under the four plus section.
Honestly, the Magnetos have been on my wish list since last year!! In addition to teaching preschoolers, I have toddlers, so I want something they can play with too. My fingers are crossed
Thanks for the giveaway!!
ksworwood@yahoo.com
They offer so much, one of my likes was the rainbow blocks.
The Peekaboo Lock Boxes look great!
I love the sun sorter! There would be so many activities to do with your toddler/preschooler to promote color recognition, sorting, problem solving, patterns and fractions.
The Storytelling Steve Light sets look so neat. I’ve never seen these anywhere else. Great option to make stories come alive! Also the Magnetos are great. Someone donated a few to the Parenting Room at our church and my 2yr old daughter LOVES them
Guidecraft has some really great high quality products! I love their stuff … One thing that caught my eye was the Animal Train Sort & Match – animals & trains – GREAT combination.
What amazing products!! I’m drooling over the wall mounted Barn Lock Box!!
THANKS !
The Feel-n-Find game from Guidecraft has been on our “wish list” for a long time. We love the Guidecraft products.
I love the Magnetos! What a great idea.
kjcarter68@gmail.com
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the see and store dress-up center for my home daycare. I like that there is a mirror attached to it.
i love the interlox. great for building on the light table!
I love the Magneatos and the Rainbow Blocks!
The Construction Truck Sort and Match looks great!
I love the Rainbow Blocks. It would be a dream to have the deluxe art table- simply amazing organized creative space.
The Block Mates are awesome!
It would be a dream to have the deluxe art table- simply amazing organized creative space. Love the rainbow blocks!
The magneatos look like great fun. My Pre-K
class would love a chance to play with this
toy.
Thanks for the chance to win this.
Their 3D feel and find looks awesome! So many things you can do with them.
I love Guidecraft products, so just to pick one, I will say the Tactile Turn N Match.
The construction truck sort and match game is super cute!
The Magneatos look like so much fun. My older son has a similar product, but the littles can’t play with it because the pieces are too small. This would be great for them. The other product that looked great to me was the Balance Base; great way to get rid of some wiggles without taking up a lot of space.
I think the jumbo magnetos are the bomb! My baby neice LOVES to build but its hard when you are little and you haven’t learned dexterity yet! Everything falls over! These toys which will stay where she puts them will let her creativity grow!
I love many things in the guidecraft catalog, but could find many great uses for the stacking rainbow pyramid blocks. I am currently in a windowless Pre-K classroom
and have to be creative to bring in a sense of light. These would be a nice addition to the block area and science area.
Aside from the magneatos, I’ve also had my on the Contruct It Early Builder set!
**Construct
I have magnetos in my room. Kids love them!! You can never have too many!!!
I want the hideaway kitchen. Cute and folds up to store easily.
Love the dress up carousel!
I love the Marble Maze Balance Bases. We are trying to incorporate more brain/balance games. We add singing a song, spelling your name, or reciting the alphabet to make it more challenging.
Love the Memory Caps from the manipualtive section. Individual memory game! I love it. Memory is so hard to play as a group. Everyone wants to turn all the cards at once! Putting it on my classroom wish list!
I’ve wanted to buy Magneatos for my toddler for a while. Thanks for the chance to win some!
I love the 76 piece wooden block set – it may be old-fashioned, but could be used to build some lovely structures. It looks super durable as well.
I absolutely LOVE the storytelling boxes by Steve Light. What a fabulous way to encourage children to hear the story then recreate it again in their own way. So many possibilities for creativity here!
They would be perfect for our early childhood wrap around program, ages 3-6. They offer everything a child of that age, or any age would love. Colorful, creative and a perfect fine motor incentive. I LOVE them!
I LOVE the magnetos! I found some similar ones that are teeny tiny and not good for a three year old but these I’ve been wanting so bad!!!
I really like all of their manipulative especially the fraction boards and sorters.
Of course the Magnetos are wonderful and would be a great addition to my developmental preschool classroom. However, I am totally coveting the Steve Light storyboxes. I want all four and any new ones that are developed! Thanks for the opportunity to win Magnetos in this giveaway! ~Denise
The Magneatos really look neato.
http://www.guidecraft.com/product/4329/G2007/_/Twist_%27N_Sort
I really like using the Twist n Sort in my classroom, it’s a great fine motor tool and has some significant problem solving involved!
I saw the 3D Feel and Find on the website and it looks like something that I would use alot at school! I already know they love the magnetos, as a resource teacher I get the left over materials and those are not one of my options.
My son would love the Construct-it kit! Thank you for the giveaway!
Love the marble maze balance board – thinks it would be lovely for my 8 year old.
This is a fantastic giveaway!! I know kids would love this!
Message:
The
Guidecraft dramatic play center
would reinforce the value of imitative play through role playing and give the children feelings of confidence.
I love the magneatos. Guidecraft has many great learning toys, but this one is on my wish list.
The school bus loft set up is a classroom fantasy, if money were no object. In the real world, I love the building toys and tabletop easels.
The dramatic play center! How cool is that!?!
Love the rainbow blocks!
I LOVE the tabletop art easels!
My boys would love the plywood construction trucks.
I think the Magnetos look so cool. I recently saw an idea where kids can use them on a plastic gutter where they move the balls on the inside of the gutter by using the longer pieces on the outside of the gutter. I also liked the curved Magnetos on the Childcraft website
I went to the Guidecraft website and wishfully shopped for our special ed preschool were I work. I love the magneatos, but also found the Peekabook Lock Boxes which would be so cool for our kids. Thanks for the chance to win something
Both of my kids would love the Magneatos. And I’m surely drooling over Guidecraft’s Deluxe Art Cart!
I like the skyscraper building set. It makes it easier for children to build tall towers.
I homeschool & this would be a great addition.
I still absolutely LOVE the rainbow blocks, but anything with magnets is a winner in my book too!
I love the storytelling kits!!
I love the Block Mates! The dinosaur ones are adorable- I know they would be a hit in our block area!
The Steve Light Storytelling Kits are BEAUTIFUL – I’d love to have one of each
I am beginning a new preschool and I just love your Magneatos. I think they would be a wonderful addition to my preschool!
Can I say I like it all? lol Alright I like the dress up carousel.
I love the Locking Ladders!
I really liked all three of the sensory matching games-especially the dominoes. I teach preschoolers with special needs. These seem like something I could use with two of the 3 year olds I am getting with visual impairments.
I love the magnetos! I worked at a daycare center and the kids loved these! They would be a great addition to my very first preschool classroom.
I love the art desks with the paper rolls! Such a good idea to help provide endless art projects at the art desk!
I love all of the dramatic play stuff! The kitchen is super cute!!!
I really liked the Multi Match Sensory Disc. The magnetos look great as well. Lots of great things there.
I have an eye on their Step-Up Kitchen Helper for a while now. It’s awesome!
I like the blocks and gross motor toys.
I LOVE, LOVE ALL of the construction toys!!! I love to see kids be creative and those encourage that! I enjoyed “Lincoln Logs” when I grew up and these are so much more creative!!!
I’m a sucker for interesting and inviting building materials in the early childhood setting – these look GREAT! From the website, I also love the interlox blocks – those seem equally exciting!
I went to the website and I want everything! Seriously, it’s so hard to choose. But if I can only pick one it will have to be the Dramatic Play.
I love the furniture .Anything guidecraft is great. I love the magneatos – science, building and fun all on one.
I think my son actually played with these at our county fair (there was a booth set up demonstrating some educational toys) he LOVED them. And, after looking around the Guidecraft site, I’m off to convince my husband that we need the “Girl Who Loved Danger” storytelling set because how awesome is that lake monster puppet?!
Love the magnetos. They look so unique as a building tool
These are awesome! My in home preschool kids used to play with an itty bitty version of these until they were recalled. They have missed them ever since, and actually still talk about things they built with them, so I know the kids will absolutely love Magneatos! While I love all the Guidecraft products, The Dress-Up Carousel (Natural) has been on my wish list for awhile, it is perfect for small spaces and a fun way to organize dress up costumes.
Just to clarify, obviously, I have a different group of preschool kids now, but still see my old clients regularly. When we get together, the kids still talk about things they remember doing at Ms. Chele’s house, the magnet sets having been a favorite.
I would LOVE the dinosaur blockmates they offer on their site. My three year old son is really into dinosaurs and he would get a kick out of them. The magneatos are pretty cool too! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
I think the Texture Dominoes are great! Our preschoolers really enjoy games especially when the whole class and teachers play together.
I love the skyscraper blocks… these are pricey!
I love the Magneatos best! Many of the products that Guidecraft offers invite open ended playing. I like the City Blocks. They would inspire imagination and creativity as much as the Magneato blocks.
The sensory stepping stones would be great to help a child find their way back into awareness and control of their body.
I already have a couple of sets of the Block Mates and they are a hit with the kids!
As far as “new” items I would love to have, I liked the “Tactile Turn and Match” I like that it added a new dimension to matching. It seems like a more engaging way to play a matching game than the traditional flat pieces.
I love the step up kitchen helper.
I love the TACTILE TURN ‘N MATCH. I like that I can have a child do a pattern activity or they can discover it and make patterns themselves. I like the corresponding cylinders that also come with it. There are so many activities that you could provide by having this in your classroom. The sensory from this item will help stimulate the brain. It would be very useful for any child on the autism spectrum.
I like the texture Dominos http://www.guidecraft.com/product/506303/G5011/_/Texture_Dominoes
the step up kitchen helper
I love all of the block mates animals and vehicles.
Guidecraft has so many things I love, but I’m quite smitten with the new Steve Light Story Boxes… especially the Rapunzel box.
I’d love their rainbow blocks!
I love the new story boxes and can’t wait to try them out with my new group of children in September. I am always impressed with the quality of the Guidecraft products!
Honestly, my favorite is the Magnetos! I have a daughter in speech therapy and this would be helpful in therapy! I also adore the peekabook lock boxes, BRILLIANT! Thanks for the giveaway!
I really like the puppet theatre. I would love to have one in our classroom.
Would love any of the wooden blocks, but especially like the castle set, would be fun to build with those!
I love the all in one play kitchen
Love the deluxe art center. so many possibilities

Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway. Magneatos have been on my classroom ‘wish list’ for months! I also like the Fraction Action Puzzle and the Rainbow Blocks from Guidecraft.
Like the construction truck sort and match set
I’ve never been privileged to have a set of these, but they look like magna-fun!
I adore the Little Farm House table and chairs, but my dc kids would love the Magnetos!
Magneatos are awesome! I also love the sun sorter. Our classroom is called the Sunshine room so anything that has a sun on it or in it, we tend to gravitate toward.
Wow what a wonderful website Guidecraft has! I never heard of it until I saw it on your site. My son loves to build things and the construct it Early Builder looks perfect for him! I love toys that allow him to interact with others and this will be perfect to use at his preschool. I also love the magneatos! I have other magnet toys but have not seen anything similar to he ones guidecraft has!
I really love this Deluxe Art Center: http://guidecraft.com/product/134212/G51082/_/Deluxe_Art_Center
I love Guidecraft – so MANY great products!! I’ve had my eye on many of their wonderful choices! I love all their construction toys – especially the skyscraper. I also really like their dramatic play center that looks like a store/market. I would love to have this in my preschool class!!
I like the construction truck sort and match. So many ways a preschooler could use that toy! I’ve had several Guidecraft items… great quality.
Looking at their website, Guidecraft has many wonderful things. I love the balance base. It looks like it would be fun and energy expending at the same time!
If I had the funds, I’d love to get the Deluxe Art Center for my kids.
my fave are the classroom unit blocks.
pamfreecycle at gmail dot com
The Constuct it set looks neat as well as magnetos of course lol
I love the 3D Feel and Find!!!!!!
I having been wanting to pick up the megneatoes for sometime now,the children love playing with the ones from the toy library.an other toy from the Guidcraft web site that is on my wish list is the puppet theater.
I love the wooden grocery products. I always bring empty boxes and containers into our grocery store center, but they never last long. The wooden ones are a great idea!
I really love the fraction action manipulatives.
I really love the Twist ‘N Sort set in the Manipulatives section. I am big on Manipulatives. I love that it needs more than just sliding onto the peg. You actually have to twist it and manipulate it to get it on correctly. It gives it that added step but it’s still simple for young learners.
The modular science center looks amazing/a good place
to keep items/topics organized and contained in our
science area. I am moving to a pre-k class from Jr. 3′s
so this would be awesome. I love your daily emails/ideas
which I use in my class frequently – they are so different
and exciting!
I love all of the block mates. They would add a great element to our block area!
I really like the play dough magnets, I am a small home day care so I don’t have money to go out and buy things. I also liked the food sorting set.
I’ve worked in a classroom that had Magneatos and the children LOVED them!!
I love the Guidecraft Rainbow Blocks, too!!
I would love to own a Magneato set! I also love the Twist N’ Sort on the Guidecraft site. My little one has loved shaped sorters from a young age.
Wow….just looking at the website makes me salivate…..I really like the magneatos….they would add another dimension to my building center!!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
What I love is how these Magnetos can be shared and enjoyed by a mixed age group! Having children ages 5 -11 is sometimes hard on group activities. This fosters greap cooperative play!
I love the Magneato blocks, I teach young 3 year olds and we have a limited supply of things to put in block center. I find that many of the children don’t play with the blocks because they get discouraged when the structure falls. A product like this will stop that from happening and keep the creativity flowing! My center believes in learning through play, and I can only imagine how this would amaze my little ones! I look forward to the results of this giveaway!
I love the story boxes! I want them all!
The Kiddie Rocker Chair Set – Red is AWESOME!
laprochaine at gmail dot com
I absolutely LOVE these! What a great give-a-way
In a dream world, I would love the loft!
I love the dramatic play center.
The magneato magnetic builders would be in my new preschool classroom. What a great way to get the kiddos building in a new, creative way!
Just love the magneatos~! I have a small set but only a few can play at a time. I would love to add to my set! So much safer than the smaller magnets we have at school.
LOVE it… I am trying to expand my block center into more than just “blocks”, I currently have gears, bristle blocks and regular blocks. This would be a great addition to add. I love the out of the box creativity this will allow for each student to experience. I also love the Classic White Storage Bench with Baskets from Guidecraft website. I could so use this in my reading center. Thank you again for offering such great prizes.. I hope I win.
I think this would help bring more interest to the block center.
Wow, the magnetos would be great in my classroom. I just started there and they have few construction toys, so this would be wonderful. I also love the constuct it early builder. Your website is amazing, you have wonderful ideas.
I love the storytelling boxes!
My dream product would be the Deluxe Art Desk!!
So many great products from Guidecraft! I would love a set of magnetos for my classroom this year!
I love the Construct-It sets, fun building!
I love, love, love the Steve Light storytelling boxes!
This website always has great, quality toys for home or school. I especially like the dramatic play furniture and tactile toys for preschoolers.
I LOVE magnetos, but I also love the sensory discs or the balance block. I try to build neuro-sensory activities into each day at school.
Magneatos are “neato” ! I could also see hoe fabulous the fold up kitchen could be in the preschool setting…would make it so easy to change centers around!
I love the loft!!
If I were making a wishlist the Mission Book Shelf would definitely be on it.
I would love to have the magnetos to add to my classroom! They are such bright colors and the sizes are perfect for little hands!!
What a “wish” website! Love the Contruct it Early Builder Set. What an imagination builder!
I really like the 4-in-1 Flipping Floor Easel! My son would be busy with it ALL DAY!
I love so many Guidecraft products, but right now I would LOVE to have the Step Up Kitchen Helper. My son would loooove it!
I loved the 3D Feel and Find World Icons. Good for tactile and sensory play.
I love the dominos, as they are textured and children need to feel things too. Not enough items have a sensory built into them.
Oooh – I love the Steve Light Storytelling sets – especially the Hansel & Gretel one! What a great way to support storytelling & imagination in the classroom.
Great addition to our block area. Great for imaginative play!
I have had the privilege of using magneatos in a previous preschool classroom and I must say, they are ABSOLUTELY wonderful. I’ve been wanting another set for my current preschoolers, I know they will enjoy it as much as myself and my other students did.
The other item I adore from guidecraft is the block play traffic sign set. I love using these to teach my kids the rules of the road and what these signs mean in real life.
The Megneatos look like so much fun for my classroom. I can think of several kids that would like to explore and create with them.
I would love to have the Deluxe Art Table—or even the smaller one. It would be wonderful to have everything in one place for the children and it looks easy for them to put everything away.
I love the step up kitchen helper! It would be great for home and for school. My daughter cooks with me almost every night and she would be able to reach the counter tops much easier. I also think it would be great for school to reach our hand washing sink easier. It would be much sturdier than the step stool that we currently use. I love your website and wanted you to know that it has helped me be even more creative and enriched my classroom. Thank you for all of your great ideas and for sharing them!
Guidecraft has so many items that I love…the Hideaway 4 section lockers are great for minimizing backpack distractions, and their wide selection of manipulatives such as the nest and stack cubes and cylinders are perfect for my students!
UNIVERSAL STORAGE CENTER —- *drool*
That lovely piece of furniture would make my life a lot easier!
I would absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have the deluxe art center someday…. it would work so nicely in my classroom!
I absolutely love the Multi Match Sensory Disc! So many great opportunities!
I love the art desks!
What a great product for my block center!
The 3D Feel & Find looks like so much fun!
I love the Modular Science Center
ooohhh… my son loves puzzles and the Twist ‘n Sort puzzle looks like so much fun for him!
Hard to choose a favorite, but the fold-away country kitchen is a great idea for grandmom’s house, and if I win the Magnetos, I will have to buy the curved accessory set. It will really extend the play for the older kids.
I love the storytelling books on this website!
The Magnetos are definitely the best item on Guidecraft! Love them!
Oh where to start? Magneatos have been on my wishlist for a while now but I also have been wishing for the Block Mates Dinos and just read about Storytelling – Steve Light (Rapunzel would thrill my girls). Amazing company with amazing products! Thanks!!
I love the Classic White Storage Bench w/Baskets. This would be perfect in my Kindergarten classroom!
I’ve wanted these magnetos for quite awhile now, wouldn’t it be great to have a set of curved ones also!
I like the construction toys at guidecraft! I would love to have the magnetos for the children of my class. I wish I could have’em.
I love all the construction building toys including the magnetos, in my preschool the students always love to explore and build. They always find ways to create something I have never thought of with there vivid imaginations!
My preschoolers love playing with magnets. Finally, a set I won’t have to worry about them swallowing!
I love the Dramatic Hideaway Kitchen. My K-4 classroom is rather small and it would be great to hide away after playtime. This leaves room for over activities.
I would love a set of Magnetos. I liked the story boxes for home and school. I also have wanted one of those kitchen helper stools for my kids.
Thanks!
I love that the Magnetos are for 2 years and up! I teach a mixed class consisting of 2 year 9 months to 5 year olds. What a perfect addition this would be in my class to assist in cooperative play. All my kiddos would love it!
Thank you for all these great opportunities to win such great products.

Just visited the Guidecraft site. I fell in love with Steve Light and his storytelling box. It’s really a box of gems and excellent for my literacy and music program. Props would be a great addition. These magnets look amazing as well. Not only would this lend to manipulatives and building, but I can certainly use it as a tool for storybuilding as well. Imagine connecting stories with these magnets!!
I LOVE the Steve Light Story Boxes! And magneatos!
Forget the kids – the Skyscraper Building Set would keep me entertained for hours!
I loved the Steve Light Story Boxes. I am always on the lookout for something to extend stories and promote an interest in literacy.
Hello I love this magnetoes, they will be a great addition to my daycare class, the kids will love them and I can use them to teach some science principals, math, volume etc….
I just saw the Construction Truck Sort and Match and this would be a terrific tool for gaining the interest of my 4PSers and keeping them enaged in a super skill building activity. However, I would love to have the set of Magneatos as well! Great developmentally appropriate toy for all of my special needs 3′s and 4′s for sure. Great toy for cooperative play and developing motor and problem solving skills. They would all love it.
Loved the HANSEL & GRETEL by Steve Light. As a librarian, I love using items like these in storytime.
I like their science center and could do so much with it
My preschool class loves the Magnetoes and adding to their collection would be wonderful!
The inner child in me liked and wanted everything on the site, but my children would love the food sorting puzzles. am always looking for new and different thing to put in centers and this would be great.
I just love the wall mounted barn lock box! My daycare kids would love to play with it while working on their fine motor skills as well
LOVE the nest and sort blocks…have always loved those!
But, my kids would LOVE these magnets!

Checked out the website and I have to say the Magneatos are my favorite. Would love to use these with my preschooler. Thanks!
I love the storytelling kits. I’ve been wanting to make some up for my
preschoolers–especially for the children who don’t sleep during quiet time. What a great literacy toy!
I love all thier products, one I would love to have is the Color Bright Dramatic play center.
Guidecraft has too many terrific things. I love the 4-in-1 Flip Tabletop Easel.There are so many thinks you can do with it and best of all it requires no floor space!!!!
I do love the magnets to.
Thanks
I love the new storytelling boxes but also the many and varied manipulatives Guidecraft offers. The colors are so bright and being made of wood they’re sure to last forever! Their nesting, stacking or fraction-ed features also offer more than one way to play. All around great items!
I am in love with the new Steve Light storytelling boxes and purchased the Rapunzel one. Can’t wait to use it this fall with my pre-k students!
I love the Magneatos! My son would love to play with them, and with little hands, I am sure they will be easier for him.
I homeschool my children and LOVE your blog. It’s so creative! I could see using these magnets for years and years to aid in teaching them. And after browsing their site, I think the early builder set would also be beneficial for our homeschool classroom. My older son has an erector set and the little one always wants to play with it. The early builder set would solve that problem.
Love the Construction Trucks Sort and Match! I think my preschoolers would love this!
Would love to have the step up kitchen helper so it would be easier for my daughter to help in the kitchen
I love the Twist ‘N Sort manipulatives. I like the idea that the children have to twist and move the blocks to fit on the toy.
I love everything but I would really like the Market loft, what a great way to add extra space to a classroom!
I think the Deluxe Art Center is a great addition to a classroom, it allows for higher engagement with art materials and creativity!
I like the rainbow blocks and also the magnetos and and and…..
I love the kitchen helper stool and their construction toys. I wish I had the kitchen helper stool!
We love the storytelling boxes….into Rapunzel right now.
I really like the idea of the tactile turn n match. I teach 2′s and 3′s, this is a great way for them to use fine motor skills and cognitive thinking skills!
I love the Dramatic Play Center. I think its awesome that you can convert it into whatever store you want (like a market, pet shop, toy store, etc.)
I really liked the Magneatos and the storyboxes by Steve Light. I am new to teaching preschool and would love to have any of these wonderful items in my classroom!
I love the water blocks. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I love all their wooden block products! And of course the magneatos look like so much fun, our boys would love them!
I love that the Hide ‘n Seek Shape Sorter is wood and painted with non-toxic paint.
Guidecraft is so impressive! I’d have to say, from reading reviews on several blogs and visiting the Guidecraft website, the Magneatos are hands down a MUST!
I loved the city blocks!
I would love the magnetos! I would also love the see and store dress up center! I hope I win!
It’s hard to choose a favorite! The dress up carousel would be fun and oh so useful!!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I LOVE the interlox, and think my boys would too :0)
I have always liked the Construct-It toys. I think my boys would love those (and the magneatos!).
I love the idea of Magnetos! My 18m & 3yr (and I can tell mommy and daddy) will love these! I have been wanting them FOREVER now.
I love the school bus loft! How cool is that?!
The construction truck sort and match set is super cute!
I love the fold away country kitchen! That would be perfect since we have very little space!
I love everything at Guidecraft but the Wooden Blocks would be at the top of my wish list. I had a set like that my dad made when I was little and tehy ended up getting lost in one of our moves. I wish I had them for my son.
My kids would love the puppet theater! They would also really enjoy building with the magneatos!!
I would love the Tactile Turn and Match set.
So glad this is offered to Canadians too! Thanks!

I love the idea of Magnetos! But the storage options from guidecraft are all very appealing to me. We love the storytelling boxes as well.
I love the deluxe rainbow blocks. There are so many wonderful activities (matching shapes, colors, building, allowing light to pass through, color mixing…) that can be done with them.
Magnetos are fabulous. My son had a set and why I gave them away, I’ll never know. Now I teach little ones and they would love them.

I would love to try the magNeatos jumbo
I love their Rainbow Blocks!!
I love the Safari Toy Box.
I love the construction toys because I see my daughter play with them and try to make forms, from the the magnetos I think is some how different and she will enjoy, also I love the kitchen helper stool as she really like to help me and get her hands in everything I am cooking or washing.
So hard to pick just one thing that I absolutely love from Guidecraft, but I’m sure my little students would love to get their hands on the construction toys! We don’t have anything like the magneatos in our classroom so that would really be NEATO!
I love their tables and puzzles!
I think the light boxes are so cool.
I LOVE, LOVE ALL of the construction toys!!! I think my preschool class spends 5o percent of their day building. The Magneatos would be very wonderful addition to our classroom.
I love love love the city blocks on Guidecraft. The building possibilities are endless. Seriously considering it for my 3 year old.
I love everything on that site! I especially love the step up kitchen helper. My 3 girls LOVE to help when I bake and cook and it would be nice to have a stand so they could reach the counter.
Thanks for the chance!!
I would love an opportunity to have the magneatos in my family child care and preschool. The children I have love to build and I think these would be a perfect addition to my building area!
I have actually been looking at the Magneatos. I’m very excited about them and would love to have them for my kiddos.
Center stage table top puppet theater
I love magnetos and the guidecraft art table and storage set! Who wouldnt with all that storage and space all in 1 place. LOVE IT! I have been trying to order Magnetos through my school purchase order and they have been on back order forever……… I would love to win these for my students.
I love the magnetos and have been wanting a set. I love the Moon and Start pieces on the guidecraft site, especially the take along cart. Would love to have that and the media carousel for my classroom.
Thanks for the giveaway – these are indeed spectacular toys!
My favorite on the Guidecraft site is the City Blocks, something so classic and endless about the play possibilities!
I enjoyed the Storytelling- Steve Light series…I think kids would enjoying using these to retell the story and/or modify different parts of the story.
I love the rainbow blocks !
I love the rainbow blocks! I think they’d be great on the light table or in front of the window!
I love the Magnetos!
