Magnetic Construction Set

Magnetic Construction Set

I was so inspired by Casey's experiments with combining tin cans and Magnatiles into a construction set that I wanted to try it out too! I like the idea of looking around your space and incorporating materials (or even toys) that you already happen to have into construction sets. In this case, I also introduced a way less familiar material: Cas Holman's Geemo, a magnetic toy that recently captured my imagination.

This set of materials made me think my building space and notice how materials played with the light coming through the window; notice the difference between empty and full cans; and wonder about what other magnetic materials might be interesting to include in an at-home construction kit. Thanks for the creative construction inspiration, Casey!
