What our experts think
My First Totem features colourful, magnetic shapes with different textures and sounds, allowing children to develop early building and visual thinking skills. For little ones, the creative freedom to build and knock over a tower repeatedly can help them develop many important skills, from hand-eye coordination to cause and effect.
The shapes stick together easily and this allows children to experiment with magnetism, as they work out why some of the shapes attract, and some repel. This motivates them to ask questions and make observations, an important part of learning. The challenge cards provided encourage children to match the different colours and shapes to successfully build each tower, developing their recognition skills and allowing them to practice following instructions.
